What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that the office space should be valued at £433.30/m² rather than the listed £725/m² based on two leases analysed at £452.77/m² and £463.58/m² respectively, with a 4.5% quantum adjustment for the large floor size. The tribunal found that the appellant's rents were too distant from the 1 April 2015 valuation date and placed greater weight on two new lettings from February 2015 devaluing to around £730/m², supporting the listed rate. No quantum adjustment was warranted as comparable properties and settled challenges of similar sized offices showed no quantum applied.
