What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued for a reduction to £525 per m² and reinstatement of an 8.7% allowance for inferior quality that had appeared in the 2010 Rating List. The tribunal found that a price of £550 per m² was reasonable based on comparable evidence from 12-26 Lexington Street, which was similar in age but had been refurbished more recently. The tribunal did not reinstate the allowance, concluding that £550 per m² adequately reflected the quality of the building.
