What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value seeking a reduction from £96,500 to £77,000, arguing the Respondent's adopted tone of £175/m² was excessive and should be £160/m². The Valuation Officer had already reduced it to £84,500. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the £175/m² rate was supported by the available rental evidence within the appeal building, with comparable properties at November 2014 to September 2015 showing rents analysed between £160.52/m² and £188.72/m², and adopting a 7% yield for incentive adjustments was the correct methodology.
