What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the property's rateable value of £96,500 (£1,700/m2) was excessive and should be reduced to £82,500 based on a passing rent agreed in December 2015. The tribunal found insufficient weight could be attached to the rental evidence as no lease documentation had been provided and no return had been submitted. The tribunal accepted comparable property evidence cited by the Valuation Officer, particularly Unit 26 Sackville Street which supported the £1,700/m2 valuation, and dismissed the appeal.
