What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended the subject restaurant should be valued at £290,000 RV based on a main space price of £750/m², arguing the location in Upper Grosvenor Street had limited passing trade and was less valuable for trade than comparable properties. The tribunal found that comparable rental evidence from South Audley Street properties agreed at or near the 2015 antecedent valuation date supported the existing tone of £850/m² and that the appellant had not provided sufficient evidence that the property's location was so disadvantageous as to warrant a reduction. The appeal was dismissed and the RV of £327,500 was confirmed.
