What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the £103,000 RV was excessive, particularly the land element valued at £20 per m², and proposed £88,500 based on comparable properties in the same valuation scheme all assessed at £10 per m² for land. The Valuation Officer maintained the original RV, citing passing rent and rental evidence for comparable properties supporting £20 per m². The tribunal found the £10 per m² rate too low (as the comparable properties had less valuable land) and the £20 per m² rate too high, settling on £15 per m² as fair and reasonable, resulting in a revised RV of £96,000.
