What was argued and what the tribunal found
Veterans Aid appealed the rateable value of offices and premises in Victoria Square, London, proposing a reduction from £50,500 to £40,000 based on comparable properties rated at £300/m2 rather than the applied £380/m2. The tribunal found the current RV reasonable, placing greater weight on rental evidence agreed closest to the antecedent valuation date (April 2015) and concluding that the appellant failed to discharge the burden of proving the RV unreasonable, particularly given insufficient information about why the comparable properties had been reduced.
