What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the unadjusted rate per m2 should remain the same as the 2010 list due to no market movement since 2003, relying on a lack of local rental evidence. The tribunal found that rental evidence provided by the Valuation Officer for comparable properties demonstrated clear market movement between rating lists and supported the current valuations. The appellant failed to prove the market had remained static, and the VO's rental evidence was found sufficient to support the appeal properties' valuations.
