What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £95,000 (based on £40 per m²) and proposed £61,000 (based on £25 per m²), arguing the property was overvalued using comparable evidence of newer and better-located units. The tribunal found the subject rent of £42,500 from 2011 and 2019 carried little weight due to timing relative to the AVD of 1 April 2015. While the appellant's comparable at Parcelforce was from a different valuation scheme and thus given little weight, the tribunal found the VO's comparable at Park 30 most reliable being closest in age and rental date to the AVD, demonstrating that £40 per m² was not excessive. The appeal was dismissed.
