What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the rateable value should be reduced to £86,750 based on rental analysis of the subject property and comparable units in the same parade, allowing for a three-month rent-free period in the 2013 lease. The tribunal agreed that rents from nearby shops in Long Acre provided the best tone evidence and found the appellant's Zone A price of £1,780/m² was reasonable, accepting the adjustment for the rent-free period and finding modest growth between 2013 and 2016.
