What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that a price of £130 per m² should be adopted based on five new lettings close to the AVD, while the VO contended that £145 per m² was correct based on various rental evidence including rent reviews. The tribunal accepted that new lettings close to the AVD provided the best evidence and, in the absence of substantive supporting evidence for the VO's amended measurements of two comparable properties, adopted the original measurements which yielded an analysed rent of approximately £130 per m², allowing the appeals.
