What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the original RV of £100,000 based on an unadjusted rate of £450/m² was unreasonable, proposing instead £77,000 based on £350/m². The tribunal found that the Valuation Officer's rental evidence analysis was unsafe and failed to explain why analysed rents of £526.72-£834.04/m² supported an unadjusted rate of only £450/m². Comparable properties within the same street with unadjusted rates of £325-£350/m² provided more persuasive evidence that an unadjusted rate of £350/m² more accurately reflected the subject property, resulting in a revised RV of £78,500.
