What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued the property should be valued at £60/m² based on its age (13 years old) and inferior location compared to newer comparable properties, particularly noting distance from the M1. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the appellant failed to discharge their burden of proof. The tribunal accepted the VO's comparable evidence of properties on the same industrial estate valued at £65/m², supported by analysed rental evidence, and found no evidential basis for the appellant's proposed £60/m² rate.
