What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought reduction of the RV from £197,000 to £149,000 on a base rate of £300/m2, arguing the valuation was excessive. The tribunal found that while limited rental evidence was presented, comparable properties in the vicinity showed that other base rates had been reduced since 2017, indicating the £400/m2 rate was too high for this type of property in this area. The tribunal adopted a base rate of £350/m2 as appropriate, reflecting the good location while acknowledging the property's larger size, layout issues (being a combination of two units), and proximity to comparable properties that had been assessed at lower rates.
