What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant (a day nursery operator) challenged the rateable value of £47,250, arguing the property should be valued at £39,500 based on comparable nurseries in the area assessed at £125 per m². The Valuation Officer contended the high-quality converted building justified £150 per m² by comparison to The Grange Cheshunt. The tribunal found the subject property was over-assessed, giving significant weight to eleven comparable converted-building nurseries in the scheme all assessed at £125 per m², and found that the property's higher quality was offset by the better location and accessibility of other nurseries. The appeal was allowed and the RV reduced to £39,500.
