What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the original RV of £94,000 (based on £1,000/m2) was excessive, citing the property's rent of £80,000 (£856/m2) and comparable properties on Camden High Street valued at lower rates. The tribunal found that Ground Floor, 102 Camden High Street at £810/m2 was the most reliable comparable, and rejected the appellant's argument that rents had fallen 32% without sufficient evidence. The tribunal concluded the main space price should be £890/m2, resulting in an RV of £83,500, allowing the appeal in part.
