What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that the warehouse was beyond economic repair at the material day (1 October 2020) due to roof damage and water ingress, with repair costs estimated at around £900,000, which it contended a reasonable landlord would not incur. The tribunal found that whilst the property was in a poor state of repair, with repair costs estimated at £625,000, a reasonable hypothetical landlord would consider such repairs economic given the demand for 1980s warehouses in the locality (demonstrated by prior lettings at rents exceeding the RV) and rejected the comparison to Barber v CEREP, distinguishing the retail context there from this industrial unit on a large estate.
