What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged 146 rateable values for serviced office suites at 80 Coleman Street, London, on various grounds including tone of the compiled list and material change of circumstances due to building works. The parties reached extensive agreements before the hearing, which were ratified by the tribunal: reducing the tone from £395 to £380 per m² and applying 4% and 8% disturbance allowances for building works periods. The appeals were allowed in part with revised valuations agreed and applied across all properties.
