What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended the Valuation Officer's unadjusted rate of £60 per m² was excessive based on subject rent and comparable rental evidence, proposing an increased RV of £29,000 (£55 per m²). The tribunal rejected the appellant's analysis of rental evidence, finding the Valuation Officer's approach to analysing rents using total significant area was consistent and the £60 per m² rate was supported by comparable properties in the same valuation scheme with rents analysed at £60.21 to £68.02 per m².
