What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant's representative argued that the price per m² of £100 (plus 5% uplift for air conditioning) was too high for offices in a non-standard location on the west of Stalybridge town centre, seeking instead £75 per m². The tribunal accepted comparable evidence primarily from two older office properties (Tame House and Tameside MBC) valued at £70 and £77.50 per m², and determined that a price of £85 per m² better reflected the subject property's age, size, location and amenities, resulting in an RV of £119,000.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was an individual ratepayer, represented.
