What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £39,750 (£105/m²), proposing £30,500 (£80/m²), which the VO reduced to £38,000 (£100/m²). The appellant then sought £34,250 (£90/m²). The tribunal found that whilst the 2014 lease at £71.10/m² and 2017 renewal at £92.79/m² supported a reduction from £100/m², comparable evidence including nearby properties (Unimar House at £86.40/m², Unit 2b at £91.86/m², Unit 23 Derby Road at £92.86/m²) justified an adopted rate of £92.50/m², resulting in an RV of £35,250.
