What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, a healthcare community interest company, sought to reduce the RV from £69,000 to £52,250 (£200/m²), arguing the property was overvalued compared to comparables and that the passing rent (£48,250 pa from 1 April 2011) should be given limited weight as it was a connected NHS lease with no expiry date. The tribunal found limited rental evidence available but determined that the comparable properties at tone of £200-£240/m² supported the original valuation, and that the subject property's assets (large plot, 23 car park spaces, residential location) added value. The appeal was dismissed as the appellant had not proven the assessment was excessive.
