What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the original price of £100 per m² was excessive, proposing £45 per m². The tribunal found that the original £100 per m² was unreasonable but rejected the appellant's comparable evidence as type 5 properties were not directly comparable to this type 2 converted property. The tribunal determined £75 per m² was appropriate, positioning the property between the £100 per m² comparables and the two agreed reductions at £65 per m².
