What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £11,750 on the basis that the base price per m2 was excessive, proposing a revised RV of £9,700 (later £10,750). The tribunal agreed with the Valuation Officer that the base price of £34.05 per m2 was not unreasonable when measured against rental transactions of comparable properties on the same industrial estate. The appeal was allowed in part solely to reflect an agreed reduction in measured floor area from 366.09 m2 to 356 m2, resulting in a revised RV of £11,250.
