What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the subject properties should be valued on the basis of minimum guaranteed rent (MGR) only, excluding supplementary top-up elements which were personal to individual occupiers. The tribunal found that the MGRs had been set through open competitive rental tendering and represented open market value, while supplementary top-ups could reflect excessive performance not achievable by a hypothetical tenant. The tribunal allowed the appeals and determined that the properties should be valued in line with their respective MGRs.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Select Service Partner, represented.
