What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that the rateable value should be reduced based on rental evidence from Unit 4 analysed at £56.00/m2, which was closer to the antecedent valuation date and was a new letting. The tribunal found that the appellant's rental evidence for the subject property was the best evidence available, being directly from the property being valued and the closest to the valuation date. The tribunal was not persuaded that the valuation officer's comparable evidence from other locations in different valuation schemes with different ages and sizes was sufficiently comparable to support the existing £60.00/m2 valuation.
