What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued the property should be valued as a 'surgery and premises' at a base rate of £650/m² in line with comparable medical facilities in the locality, rather than as an 'office and premises' at £775/m². The Valuation Officer contended the office rate was appropriate based on the property's rent. The tribunal found that following extensive structural works to convert the property for medical use and a change in its statutory description, the property's mode or category of occupation was that of a surgery and premises, requiring application of the lower surgery base rate to nearby comparable properties.
