What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that a fully open market rental agreement from April 2014 showed the property should be valued at £15/m2 (£33,500 RV), whereas the Valuation Officer contended the property should remain at £24/m2 (£53,500 RV) in line with the valuation scheme. The tribunal found the rental evidence was excellent and the most useful piece of evidence available, particularly given the property's unique location within a residential area with its own distinct market, and rejected the VO's concerns about marketing and connected parties as unsupported by evidence.
