What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant, a restaurant operator, challenged the RV of £131,000 (UAR £1,100 p/m²), seeking a reduction to £110,000. The appellant argued this was excessive compared to passing rents and comparable properties. The tribunal found the UAR of £1,100 p/m² was reasonable, supported by a professionally agreed base rate of £1,150 p/m² for a similar restaurant opposite the subject property, and rejected the appellant's claimed 5% shape allowance as either already factored into the existing rent or unsupported by sufficient evidence.
