What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants challenged the rateable value of Unit 1, Acorn Place, Derby, seeking a reduction from £15,750 to £12,500 based on £40 p/m2. The tribunal found that the rental evidence for the subject unit and comparable units within the same industrial estate supported a tone of £45 p/m2, and that after allowing for quantum and considering larger comparables with lower rates, the original valuation was not unreasonable. The appellants had not discharged their burden of proof, so the appeal was dismissed; however, the VO had already reduced the entry to £14,000 during the challenge stage, which was the figure the tribunal upheld.
