What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the £305/m² rate should be reduced to £273.50/m² based on a lower rental analysis and arguing the subject property's poor visibility and location. The tribunal examined the subject rent (£65,000 pa on FRI terms from 3 April 2017, with nine months rent-free), analysed the whole basket of comparable rental and assessment evidence, and found the subject property's RV was reasonable and sat towards the lower end of the assessment evidence range, with rental evidence closer to the AVD actually analysed to significantly higher figures. The appeal was dismissed.
