What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued the rateable value of £34,000 (at £47.50/m2) was too high and should be £28,750 (at £40/m2), relying on rental evidence from the appeal property (£24,000 pa) and comparables. The tribunal found the rental evidence unreliable as it did not reflect a hypothetical new tenant, and applied greater weight to the tone of value established in the locality through settled assessments at £47.50/m2 for similar-sized properties. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the current rateable value was correct.
