What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought an RV of £8,300 with 25% and 10% end allowances for poor quality and location respectively. The Valuation Officer had offered a 7.5% allowance reducing RV to £13,250. The tribunal found that a further 7.5% end allowance (totalling 15%) better reflected the property's valuation when compared to similar older properties in the locality, resulting in an RV of £12,250. The base rate of £40/m² remained unchanged.
