What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £17,000 seeking £12,000, arguing that comparable assessments and rental evidence did not support the Valuation Officer's unadjusted price of £40 per m². The tribunal found that comparable units in the locality were valued at £30-£33.05 per m², and that the property's sloping floor had not been fully reflected in the valuation. The tribunal allowed the appeal and determined a RV of £12,000 based on an unadjusted price of £31 per m² with appropriate adjustments.
