What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that car parking should not be separately assessed as it was already reflected in the building value and was inconsistent with the valuation scheme and comparable properties. The tribunal allowed the appeals, finding that the comparable evidence demonstrated no other similar properties in the scheme had car parking separately valued, and that the respondent's own 2023 assessment did not include separate car parking, undermining the original valuation approach.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Specialist Cars Limited, represented.
