What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought reduction of price per m² from £130 to £110, reduction of first floor relativity from 70% to 50%, and a 10% end allowance for the property's awkward shape. The tribunal found the property's price per m² was too high given its location approximately one mile from the town centre compared to town centre comparables, and allowed a 5% end allowance for the unusual shape. The tribunal determined RV £20,250 with £120 per m² and maintained 70% first floor relativity.
