What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant proposed reducing the rateable value from £28/m² to £25/m², citing comparable properties on the same estate that had been settled at the lower rate. The tribunal found that direct rental evidence from the appeal property itself provided the most compelling evidence: a new open market rental agreed in November 2013 for £65,000 per annum (analysed at £30.60/m²) was sufficiently close to the antecedent valuation date to support the original £28/m² rate. Supporting evidence from other comparable units on the estate also confirmed this rate. The appeal was dismissed.
