What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued the RV of £87,000 was excessive, proposing £64,500 based on a rate of £60/m2, citing the subject property's rent of £57,800 pa (£55.17/m2 at 2013) and comparables including 1-5 Tigers Place at £61.71/m2. The Valuation Officer defended £74,500 at £70/m2, relying on a 2014 letting at Tigers Place and 16 West Walk at £75.61/m2. The tribunal found the VO's adopted rate of £70/m2 excessive and, whilst not convinced by the appellant's £60/m2 figure, determined a fair middle ground of £65/m2 was reasonable, resulting in an RV of £69,500.
