What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant contended that the RV of £176,000 was excessive and should be reduced to £142,000 based on an unadjusted base rate of £64.87 per m², relying on the passing rent of £254,000 pa (after adjusting for a two-year rent-free period). The tribunal found that the valuation officer's analysis of the passing rent over the full 10-year lease term was more persuasive than the appellant's shorter-period analysis, and that the existing rate of £86 per m² was reasonable and not excessive. The appeal was dismissed as the appellant failed to provide substantiated evidence demonstrating the assessment was unreasonable.
