What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the rateable values were excessive, proposing reductions based on tenant rents and comparable property analysis. The tribunal found the respondent's comparable rental evidence more persuasive as the rents had been agreed closer to the AVD (April 2015), were all under the same valuation scheme, and required minimal adjustment. The panel was satisfied that the current assessments at £128.72 per m² for the larger property and £145.00 per m² for the smaller property were reasonable and not excessive.
