What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged 146 compiled list entries and subsequent notices of alteration for serviced offices. The parties agreed in principle but could not agree detailed revised valuations before the hearing. At the hearing, the appellant submitted a spreadsheet with revised values applying: a reduction in main rate from £395/m² to £380/m²; a 4% allowance for MCC disturbance at 1 April 2017; and an 8% total allowance for building works disturbance from 14 August 2017 to 15 October 2020. The tribunal ratified these agreed values after the respondent confirmed agreement with all valuations within 24 hours.
