What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants sought a reduction in the tone applied to the valuations from £575/m2 to £475/m2, arguing that rental evidence and comparable properties supported a lower valuation. The tribunal examined rental evidence from properties in Alfred Place close to the antecedent valuation date, including rents from Remax House (£611.38/m2) and Whittington House (£627.64/m2), which supported the existing tone. Comparable properties initially relied upon by the appellants were either undated, prior to the 2016-17 refurbishment, or had themselves been altered in the rating list. The tribunal concluded that the existing valuations at £575/m2 were not unreasonable and dismissed the appeals.
