What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that the original rateable values of £735,000 and £610,000 (later VO-reduced to £490,000) at £40/m2 were excessive and not in line with comparable properties, particularly Condor Logistics at £30/m2. The tribunal found that whilst the appellant's comparables supported a lower rate, the best evidence was Condor Logistics, a similar-sized 1980s industrial property, and determined that £35/m2 was the appropriate tone reflecting the physical attributes and location of both properties. The appeals were allowed in part, with reductions to £647,000 and £442,000 respectively.
