What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in the main space rate from £140/m2 to £120/m2 and a 10% end allowance for poor layout and cramped conditions caused by the merger of two former units. The tribunal found the current main space rate of £140/m2 was fair and reasonable, being in the mid-range for similar properties in Preston town centre. Although layout disabilities were acknowledged, the tribunal considered that the passing rent of £18,500 did not suggest the assessment was excessive and that layout issues would have been reflected in the rent agreed. Accordingly, no end allowance was warranted and the appeal was dismissed.
