What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged 146 serviced office assessments in the building on various grounds including compiled list errors, material change of circumstances from building works, and valuation methodology. The parties reached substantial agreement before the hearing, with the appellant and valuation officer agreeing to reduce the main rate per m² from £395 to £380 and apply allowances of 4-8% for building works disturbance during different periods. The tribunal ratified these agreed valuations, allowing the appeals in part.
