What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value on three grounds: the price per square metre (£250/m²), a 5% double unit allowance, and a 10% masking allowance. The tribunal accepted the £250/m² rate based on rental evidence which was superior to rating list comparables, but rejected the double unit allowance due to insufficient evidence of a genuine double unit configuration. The tribunal allowed a 5% masking allowance (reduced from the 10% sought) at £119 based on comparable evidence from the adjacent property which received a 5% allowance for similar masking issues. The rateable value was reduced from £14,750 to £14,500.
