What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the RV of £114,000 was excessive and proposed a base price of £50 per m² (RV £93,000), contending the assessed rate of £65 per m² was not in line with comparable properties and constituted double counting of the land value. The tribunal found the weight of comparable evidence supported a reduction, particularly from Travis Perkins (£50 per m²) and Magnet (£50 per m²) which were more comparable than other properties cited. The tribunal determined a base price of £55 per m² was warranted, reducing the RV to £100,000.
