What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the RV of £28,250 (at £120 per m2) was excessive, proposing instead £20,000 based on the subject rent of £20,000 per annum. The tribunal found that although the subject rent was a starting point, the absence of full lease terms created uncertainty, and comparable evidence (Aroma Unit B at £500 per m2 with RV of £128,000) suggested the original valuation was reasonable. The appeal was dismissed as the appellant failed to demonstrate the valuation was unreasonable.
