What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the subject dental surgery should be valued by comparison with other dental surgeries at £382.50/m2, resulting in an RV of £29,000, rather than as a shop. The Valuation Officer contended the property, located in a parade of shops with a traditional shop frontage and only minimal reconfiguration, should be valued as a retail unit comparable to other shops at £535/m2. The tribunal found the property's inherent character when vacant and to let was that of a retail unit, the internal modifications were easily reversible, and the VO's comparable evidence from nearby shops at £535/m2 was reasonable, dismissing the appeal.
