What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the appeal property should be valued at £94.86/m2, comparing it to Jennings Hall which had been assessed at the same rate in the 2010 list. The VO contended the property was not comparable to Jennings Hall and relied on three comparable properties supporting a rate of £125/m2. The tribunal found that while the VO's comparables had limitations (connected parties, location, mixed-use), the appeal property was in a better location than Jennings Hall and more impressive, warranting a higher valuation. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the £125/m2 rate correct and resulting in an RV of £31,750.
