PENNINE WEAVERS LTD, NORTH BECK MILLS,, BECKS ROAD, BECKS ROAD, BD21 1SD

What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of £89,500 based on the 2017 rating list, proposing £48,750, citing a lower comparable price per m2 (£11.30 vs £18.77) and arguing the subject rent was agreed between connected parties and therefore unreliable, plus claiming a 5% end allowance for access should be reinstated. The tribunal accepted that the subject rent had been agreed at open market value despite the connected parties, found the adopted price of £18.77 per m2 was supported by comparable rental evidence from similar-sized properties in the same valuation scheme, but agreed that the 5% end allowance for access should be reinstated as it had existed in the 2010 list and the access restriction remained unchanged. The appeal was allowed in part, resulting in a revised RV of £85,000.
