What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the subject Victorian warehouse property should be valued at £138,500 (£17.10/m²) by reference to the 2010 list valuation and comparable evidence showing minimal value growth in this property category. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the VO's valuation of £201,000 (£32.50/m²) was supported by comparable industrial properties within one mile of the subject property and was not excessive, particularly given the location's proximity to regenerated areas including 'Tech City' and investment post-2010 Olympics.
