What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of £41,500 for the retail shop unit at 23-25 Baldwin Street, arguing it was too high and proposing £20,000. The tribunal found the Valuation Officer's comparable properties were significantly smaller and not entirely comparable. Based on rental evidence from similar-sized properties at the antecedent valuation date and allowing for agreed size and frontage allowances, the tribunal determined a Zone A rate of £245 per m² was appropriate, resulting in a rateable value of £35,750, allowing the appeal in part.
