What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants argued that the rateable values should be reduced based on rental evidence from Unit 4, which analysed at £56.00/m2, compared to the £60.00/m2 applied in the list. The tribunal found that the rental evidence for Unit 4 was the strongest evidence, being a new letting closest to the antecedent valuation date, and that the Valuation Officer's comparable evidence from other locations in different valuation schemes carried insufficient weight. The tribunal accepted the appellant's proposed reduction and applied a similar proportionate adjustment to the other three properties.
