What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction from £81,500 to £67,500 on the grounds that the valuation officer had not properly applied end allowances for poor layout and sloping site (15%) and mixed age units (5%), compared to the 1.5% adopted. The tribunal found that while the mixed age units had already been accounted for in the price per m2 adopted, the comparable properties evidence supported increasing the end allowance for poor layout from 1.5% to 5%. The assessment was therefore reduced from £81,500 to £78,750.
