What was argued and what the tribunal found
Ahmarra Door Solutions and DTW Ceramics UK Ltd challenged the rateable values of their industrial workshop and warehouse properties, arguing they should be valued at £40 per m² based on rental evidence from Units 1-8 Dragon Estate, rather than the assessed £45 per m². The tribunal found the Dragon Estate rental evidence unreliable as it was dated nineteen months after the antecedent valuation date, applied an allowance for multiple-unit occupation that was not applicable to the single-unit appeal properties, and was materially larger; furthermore, other comparable properties in the same scheme at £50+ per m² supported the existing valuation. The appeals were dismissed as there was insufficient evidence to alter the existing rate.
