What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the 2017 rating list assessment of £72,000 RV (at £90/m² unadjusted rate) for a 767.08 m² warehouse. The appellant's expert provided rental analysis of £79.12/m² based on the actual stepped lease, and comparable rents on similar units at Saxon Way trading estate averaged £78.16/m². The tribunal found the original £90/m² rate was excessive and agreed that £80/m² was reasonable, reducing the assessment to £64,000 RV.
