What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the rateable value of £103,000 (at £70 per m²) should be reduced to £73,000 (at £50 per m²), arguing the RV had increased excessively from £62,500 in the 2010 list and that comparable properties did not support the higher rate. The tribunal found that the rent of 3B Nobel Road, an identical location and similar size/age property, analysed at £62.32 per m² (agreed July 2013), supported a £70 per m² rate when adjusted for rental growth to the antecedent valuation date, and that schemes based on property age supported the differentiation in rates for older comparables; the appeal was dismissed.
