What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the 2017 rating list entry claiming Unit 12 lacked heating and sought a 2.5% end allowance for layout inefficiencies of two detached, unconnected units. The Valuation Officer conceded the heating issue but resisted the end allowance. The tribunal found the appellant's comparable properties with similar two-detached-unit layouts all had end allowances and accepted that operational inefficiencies warranted the 2.5% reduction, allowing the appeal and setting the RV at £167,000.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Saddleback Ltd, represented.
