What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the rateable value of £101,000 was excessive, based on analysis of the rent adjusted for a £490,000 reverse premium, suggesting a value of £77,000 (£80/m2). The tribunal found the appellant's analysed rent of £70,441 was too low when compared with comparable units (6600 and 6300) which had rents of £119,680 and £106,225 respectively despite being only two-thirds the size. The tribunal concluded the rateable value of £101,000 was not unreasonable compared with these comparables and dismissed the appeal.
