What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £270,000, arguing the Zone A price should be £3,420/m² (£245,000 RV) rather than £3,800/m² because the subject property was in a less desirable location on the south side of Bruton Street amongst offices, without other retail units nearby. The tribunal found that while tone can vary within a street, there was no rental evidence from the south side around the antecedent valuation date to support the claim of a less desirable location, and rents agreed on the north side demonstrated the £3,800/m² tone was appropriate. The appeal was dismissed.
