UNIT E, WATERMILL INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, ASPENDEN ROAD, ASPENDEN ROAD, SG9 9JS

What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the property was completed in 2003 and should be valued in a different valuation scheme at £50/m2 rather than £60/m2, resulting in a lower RV of £46,250. The tribunal found that the evidence provided (a completion handover document from the structural engineer dated 30 October 2003 and an aerial photograph from October 2003) was insufficient to override the evidence that the property was entered into the rating list on 10 January 2004 with that effective date confirmed on site by the VO's inspection on 18 February 2004. The tribunal dismissed the appeal and confirmed the RV at £55,500 with effect from 1 April 2017.
