What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the RV from £540,000 (£260/m2) to £462,500 (£220/m2), arguing the rental evidence of £229/m2 supported a lower assessment and citing agreements with other local offices at £225/m2. The tribunal found the subject property's rent did not include fit-out costs (£7.85m of works), and the comparable 2nd Floor Minton Place at £196.78/m2 was significantly larger and lower quality. The tribunal gave most weight to tonal evidence from 1st and 2nd Floor Riverside House and 2-4 Victoria Street, both at £260/m2, confirming the original RV as fair and reasonable.
