What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants argued for reductions in the rateable values of three office floors at 10 Stratton Street based on a main space price of £950/m² with a 5% allowance for the sixth floor. The tribunal dismissed the appeals for the 2nd and 3rd floors, finding the original £1,000/m² valuation reasonable having regard to comparable rental evidence at 5 Stratton Street (1st Floor Right) which analysed to £965/m² and was valued at £975/m². The tribunal allowed the sixth floor appeal in part, accepting the 5% allowance for mansard roof and structural disadvantages, reducing the RV to £265,000 effective 8 January 2018.
