What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of £34,000 on a warehouse unit at Thorp Arch Estate, proposing £19,750 based on a £36/m² tone with comparable evidence. The tribunal found that the VO's comparable properties from the same estate, which were un-refurbished and similar in age and quality to the appeal property, demonstrated rents analysing to £38.76-£48.06/m², supporting an adopted rate of £45/m² and rejecting the appellant's cost-based approach to valuation. The tribunal confirmed the VO's revised assessment of £25,000 RV (£45/m² with agreed 25% disability allowance).
