What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, represented by a surveyor, argued that the rateable value should be reduced from £53,500 to £47,000 based on rental evidence and comparable properties showing a lower tone of value of £74.93/m². The tribunal found that the rental evidence submitted was too far removed from the statutory definition of rateable value and that the comparable properties lacked sufficient comparability. The tribunal concluded that the appellant had failed to discharge the burden of proof and confirmed the rateable value at £53,500.
