What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought end allowances of 5% for mixed ages of buildings and increased access allowance from 2.5% to 5%, arguing the property's piecemeal development and poor access in a residential area warranted higher allowances. The tribunal found insufficient evidence to support either additional allowance, noting the comparable properties lacked sufficient detail for comparison and that age differences had already been reflected in the separate unadjusted rates applied to different building sections. The existing RV of £86,500 was confirmed as correctly valued.
