What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the property should be valued at £100/m² rather than £125/m², proposing an RV of £53,000. The Valuation Officer contended for the existing rate of £125/m² based on rental evidence and comparable assessments. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that comparable evidence, particularly the 2nd floor of Godwin House let in 2014 close to the AVD at £129.17/m², supported the tone of £125/m², and that the appellant had not demonstrated the current assessment of £66,500 was unreasonable.
