What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that the rateable values should be reduced to 2010 list levels, contending the market had remained static since 2003. The tribunal found the appellant had failed to prove this assertion. The tribunal considered rental evidence for four comparable properties provided by the VO and found it to be good evidence supporting the current valuations, with the rental agreements being reasonably proximate to the antecedent valuation date. The appeals were dismissed as the appellant had not discharged its burden of proving the valuations should be reduced.
Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Snowhill Ltd, represented.
