What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant proposed a reduced rateable value of £17,750 (£275 per m2) arguing that comparable assessments from Albert Embankment, Graphite Square, and other serviced offices supported a lower tone of value for main space than the £355 per m2 applied by the Valuation Officer. The tribunal found the rental evidence from seven comparable assessments within China Works (the subject building) was reliable and supported the original tone of £355 per m2, and gave little weight to the appellant's comparables from other buildings on grounds of size differences and superior specifications not sufficiently proven.
