What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that a £300,000 premium paid to secure the pharmacy premises should not be treated as advance rent, as it was conditional on obtaining a new pharmacy licence. The tribunal found that the premium was paid to secure the premises and should be included as advance rent in the valuation analysis. The tribunal considered the rent passing (including the premium) to be the best evidence and found £300 per m² to be reasonable when compared with other analysed rents, therefore dismissing the appeal.
