What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a 10% end allowance for works carried out on nearby Sampson House, claiming the property had been affected by demolition nuisance including noise, dust and vibration. The tribunal determined that at the material day (25 January 2021), the works had already concluded some three years earlier, and therefore a hypothetical tenant would not expect rental concessions. The appeal was dismissed as no allowance was justified.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was MCM Architecture Ltd, represented.
