What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the 2017 rating list valuation of £56,000 (£625/m2), proposing £44,750 (£500/m2), arguing the subject property's 2014 rent was below the valuation rate. The tribunal found the subject property's rent must be tested against comparable rents in the same building; the first, second, and fourth floor rents agreed at the AVD supported the £625/m2 tone, as did a fourth-floor let post-AVD, and therefore the existing valuation was not unreasonable.
