What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the property was overvalued at £327,500 and sought reduction to £200,000, citing poor site conditions including dense site coverage (83.3%), low eaves height (6.1m), limited floor loading, and shared access. The tribunal found the best evidence was the actual rent on the subject property (£200,138-£320,220 with stepped incentive), and determined the rateable value by adjusting the tone-of-the-list baseline of £30/m2 downwards by 20% allowances for site disadvantages, resulting in £275,500.
