What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the rateable value of £147,000 was inaccurate and proposed £133,000, claiming a 10% allowance was warranted to reflect disadvantages of the ground floor location and lack of privacy (fishbowl effect). The tribunal found insufficient evidence to support the claimed allowance and was not satisfied the circumstances were comparable to other properties cited. The tribunal confirmed the original RV of £147,000 was reasonable and dismissed the appeal.
