What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction from £410,000 to £302,500 RV based on a rental approach, arguing that a 17.5% downward adjustment from a 2017 rent was warranted, and that comparable clubs were too dissimilar in size and location. The tribunal rejected the rental evidence as being too remote from the valuation date (31 months post-AVD) and considered the AVD adjustment unsupported by evidence. The tribunal found the VO's comparables, though smaller and at different levels, provided a reliable basis for valuation within the lower end of the club value range at £625/m2.
