What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that rental evidence from the properties supported Zone A rates of £195/m2, with the appeal properties over-valued at £600-£625/m2. The tribunal found that the rental evidence from the appeal properties themselves was unreliable, being based on affordability/viability and not reflective of the rating hypothesis. The tribunal applied the established tone of the list for West Walk (£900/m2 to £625/m2) drawn from RSA discussions and settlements, and found that the existing Zone A rates of £625/m2 and £600/m2 were at the lower end of this tone, supporting the current valuations.
