What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that a 12.5% allowance should be applied to the subject property comprising five separate units with no internal connections due to fragmentation. The tribunal accepted that the original RV of £245,000 was unreasonable, finding that the rent analysis of approximately £45/m² was lower than the £52.50/m² adopted. The tribunal allowed the appeal, applying a 12.5% fragmentation allowance comparable with other similar multi-unit hereditaments, reducing the RV to £214,000.
