What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the RV of £14,000 should be reduced to £13,000, arguing that allowances for access and layout were incorrectly applied and that the lower ground floor relativity should be one over twenty rather than one over ten to reflect external access and inferior condition. The tribunal found that the allowances had been applied correctly to the whole assessment and that the lower ground floor disadvantages, including external access and lack of natural light, had already been adequately reflected in the agreed 2010 assessment with no physical changes since then. The appeal was dismissed.
