What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a reduction to £17,500 RV based on the passing rent of £30,000 pa (analysed at £223/m2) and a 10% masking allowance. The tribunal found little weight in the subject property's rent due to its age (set 2 years before the AVD), generous rent-free incentive, and analytical discrepancies. Comparable properties on Linthorpe Road showed rents analysing to £529-£583/m2 with zone A rates of £560-£580/m2, supporting rather than undermining the £460/m2 rate applied. The tribunal rejected the unsupported masking allowance request. The appeal was dismissed and the RV remained at £34,750.
