What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a 15% end allowance (5% for mixed age, 5% for divided units, and 5% for layout disadvantages) to reduce the RV from £172,000 to £146,000. The tribunal found that the units were of similar age (all built in the 1980s), and insufficient evidence was provided to demonstrate layout or division disadvantages warranting a reduction. The tribunal concluded the main space price of £45/m² already reflected any disadvantages and dismissed the appeal.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was CPI Card Group UK Limited, represented.
