What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued the property should be valued at £90 per m² based on smaller comparables in rural locations, that certain floors were surplus to requirements, and that repair costs were uneconomic. The tribunal found the comparable evidence supported £105 per m², rejected the superfluity argument as a hypothetical tenant would want all available space, and concluded there was insufficient evidence of uneconomic repairs at the material dates. The appeals were dismissed and the RV of £241,000 (from 1 April 2017) and £239,000 (from 16 October 2017) were confirmed.
