What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, a hybrid warehouse and office unit, argued that relativities for the ground floor should be adjusted and a 10% end allowance applied to reflect high office content, seeking a revised RV of £44,750 (£53 per m2). The tribunal found that the adopted tone of £85 per m2 was supported by rental evidence from comparable industrial properties at the same estate, but accepted the appellant's argument for a reduced relativity for ground floor offices from 1.2 to 1.1 to reflect their basic quality. The appeal was allowed in part, with the RV adjusted to £54,500.
