What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in rateable value from £34,000 to £26,250 (price per m2 from £140 to £108.55) based on analysis of a rental transaction at 1st Floor 1 Carisbrooke Court. The tribunal found that the adopted price of £140 per m2 was supported by the weight of available rental evidence, particularly transactions closest to the antecedent valuation date (2 Carisbrooke Court at £194.05 per m2 and 1st Floor 5 Carisbrooke Court at £139.88 per m2), and noted the tone had remained unchallenged throughout the life of the 2017 rating list.
