What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the rateable value of £19,750 should be reduced to £16,500, citing damaged corrugated asbestos cladding requiring a 20% reduction and flooding-prone land. The tribunal found that the photographs did not support damage to the asbestos, the appellant provided no evidence of how flooding affected use or financial loss, and the comparable properties offered were not persuasive due to significant size differences. The tribunal confirmed that the current assessment of £19,750 was reasonable and dismissed the appeal.
