What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant company sought reductions in rateable values for Units 6A and 6C at Kirkless Industrial Estate, arguing that rental evidence from Unit 6A (£10,400 pa, analysed at £12.94/m²) should be the primary basis for valuation. The tribunal considered rental evidence on the estate post-dating the antecedent valuation date (AVD of 1 April 2015), including larger comparable units, and concluded that the appellant's proposed rents appeared lower than market value. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the Valuation Officer's valuation of £21/m² reasonable and maintaining the original RVs of £16,250 for Unit 6A and £15,250 for Unit 6C.
