What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought to reduce the rateable value from £20,500 to £19,000 by arguing for a reduced tone of value for main space from £275 per m² to £255 per m². The appellant relied on comparable evidence from Brownlow Mews properties with agreed tones of £255 per m², arguing that location differences explained higher tones elsewhere. The tribunal upheld the original tone of £275 per m² because the respondent's comparable evidence from North Mews and Doughty Street properties, which were close to the antecedent valuation date and in the same locality, supported tones of £350 per m², making the subject's assessment reasonable by comparison.
