What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the rateable value of £34,000 (later reduced to £29,000 by the VO) did not reflect the actual passing rent and suffered from multiple disabilities. The tribunal found the passing rent of £15,000 per annum (£17.50/m²) to be the best evidence of value, strongly supported by a comparable property (Bowmer Bond) in the same building at £18.91/m². The tribunal determined that the actual rent adequately reflected the property's disadvantages including poor location, low eaves height, and limited facilities, and reduced the RV to £14,750.
