What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the £2,410,000 rateable value (based on £220 per m²), arguing it was unreasonable for a standalone office building in a mainly residential area near Heathrow Airport. The tribunal found that the original valuation inappropriately treated the property as comparable to offices within the Bedfont Lakes business park. The tribunal preferred tonal evidence of other standalone offices in the wider locality (valued at £130-£170 per m²) and determined that £150 per m² was reasonable, confirming the proposed value of £1,670,000.
