What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant's representative argued that the subject properties should be valued at £40 per m2 based on rental evidence from Units 1-8 Dragon Estate (November 2016, £39.37 per m2), rather than the assessed £45 per m2. The tribunal found insufficient reliable rental evidence close to the antecedent valuation date to alter the existing valuation, noting the appellant's main comparable was a much larger warehouse dated 19 months after the AVD with an inherent multiple-unit discount not applicable to single-unit appeal properties. The tribunal was also guided by withdrawn appeals on similar properties in the same scheme valued above £50 per m2.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Ahmarra Door Solutions, represented.
