What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in rateable value from £77,000 to £46,000 based on a reduced basic rate of £70psm and a 10% quality allowance, arguing the property lacked car parking, public transport access, and was affected by asbestos. The tribunal accepted the Valuation Officer's reduced assessment of £69,000 with a basic rate of £94.50psm, finding the appellant's comparable properties were too distant and in different locations, and that there was insufficient evidence to support further reductions for parking, quality, or asbestos issues.
