What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged 146 serviced office assessments on the compiled list and subsequent VO notices, arguing the tone of list should be reduced and claiming material change of circumstances arising from building works disturbance. The parties reached agreements before the hearing to reduce the main rate from £395 per m² to £380 per m², apply 4% allowance at 1 April 2017 and 8% allowance from 14 August 2017 until 15 October 2020 for building works disturbance. The tribunal ratified the agreed valuations by spreadsheet after both parties confirmed their acceptance at the hearing.
