What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged 146 assessments at a serviced office building, arguing the tone of list was too high and that building works caused material change of circumstances. The parties extensively discussed the appeals pre-hearing and reached agreements: reducing the main rate from £395 to £380 per m², applying a 4% allowance for MCC disturbance from 1 April 2017, and an additional 4% (total 8%) for MCC disturbance from 14 August 2017 until 15 October 2020. The tribunal ratified these agreed values for all properties.
