What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of an office unit at China Works, arguing for a reduced tone of value for main space of £275 per m² instead of the Valuation Officer's £355 per m². The tribunal found that seven comparable rental assessments within the same building, with rents ranging from £300.22 to £416.90 per m², supported the original tone of value, and was not persuaded by the appellant's arguments that the Workspace Occupation Agreements were unreliable or that external comparables justified a reduction. The appeal was dismissed with the RV confirmed at £29,500.
