What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant company challenged the rateable value of £99,000 for a warehouse property at the IO Centre, arguing the unadjusted rate of £85.35/m² was excessive based on comparable rental evidence, and seeking a 5% allowance for the split unit configuration. The tribunal found the rental evidence presented was unreliable due to numerous adjustments and size differences, but applied tonal evidence from similar properties which supported the assessment at approximately £85/m² and noted the proposed value would be inconsistent with smaller comparable units. The tribunal dismissed the appeal and the 5% allowance claim, finding insufficient evidence of the impact of the split unit configuration on valuation.
