What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the unadjusted main space price of £70/m2 was excessive for a 1965-built workshop with 4.8 metre eaves height and sought £65/m2, resulting in RV £122,000. The tribunal found that comparable evidence, particularly a rent analysed at £68/m2 for a similar property (8 Steyning Way) with a lease close to the antecedent valuation date of 1 April 2015, was compelling. The tribunal reduced the main space price to £68/m2, allowing the appeal with a tribunal RV of £128,000.
