What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended the rateable value of £228,000 (£45/m²) was excessive and should be reduced to £176,000 (£40/m²), arguing for a reduction due to high office content and comparable evidence. The tribunal examined rental evidence from comparable properties in the same locality, finding the Valuation Officer's comparable properties were more reliable as they were in close proximity to the subject property and of similar age and construction. The tribunal concluded the £45/m² rate was not excessive, found no substantive evidence warranting an allowance for high office content, and dismissed the appeal, placing the burden of proof on the appellant to demonstrate a reduction was warranted.
