What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged 146 assessments of serviced offices within a multi-occupied building, arguing material change of circumstances due to building works disturbance and raising issues with the compiled list valuation. The parties reached agreements in principle before the hearing, agreeing to reduce the main rate from £395/m² to £380/m², apply a 4% allowance from 1 April 2017 for building disturbance, and an additional 4% allowance from 14 August 2017. The tribunal ratified the agreed valuations.
