What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants contended that the base rates adopted by the Valuation Officer in valuing three warehouse properties on an industrial estate were too high. The tribunal, having regard to comparable lettings on the estate (including 19 Kingsland Grange at £62.76/m², 2-4 Chesford Grange at £31.88/m², 10 Chesford Grange at £29.40/m² and 11 Chesford Grange at £22.61/m²) and considering the estate as a whole, concluded the properties had been overvalued and the respondent had not fully reflected the market rents. The tribunal allowed the appeals in part, reducing the rateable values from £137,000, £104,000 and £140,000 respectively to £120,000, £97,500 and £123,000.
