What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the rateable value should be reduced to £145,000 based on comparable properties at £60/m² and sought an increased end allowance of 7.5% to reflect disabilities from the split site and floor level differences. The tribunal dismissed the comparable evidence as not being like-for-like and rejected the scheme change argument, but allowed the appeal in part by increasing the end allowance from 2.5% to 7.5% for the disabilities, reducing the rateable value to £180,000.
