What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the Zone A price from £320/m² to £230/m², arguing that significant changes to the locality and a rent agreed at £0 just before the AVD justified a lower valuation. The tribunal found that whilst the £0 rent appeared to reflect the tenant's financial difficulties rather than market demand, the comparable evidence in Maylord Street supported the existing Zone A price of £320/m² as appropriate for the subject property. The appeal was dismissed and the RV of £21,250 confirmed.
