What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued the assessment of £1,890,000 RV was excessive, based on rental evidence from Sexy Fish at 4-6 Berkeley Square (set at £2500/m2 tone of the list) and different relativities for the link area and rear restaurant. The tribunal found rental evidence from Sexy Fish in July 2014 (close to the AVD of 1 April 2015) most reliable and calculated a rate of £2700/m2, rejecting the appellant's lower proposed relativities for the rear restaurant but accepting a 75% relativity for the link area. The assessment was reduced to £1,790,000 RV.
