What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued for reduction from £105 per m² (£48,750 RV) to £92.50 per m² (£43,250 RV), relying on a downward trend in price per m² between the 2010 and 2017 rating lists at comparable industrial properties and analysed rental evidence. The Valuation Officer sought £97.50 per m² (£46,250 RV). The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding insufficient evidence of a downward trend specific to Clock Tower Road, doubts over the reliability of the rental evidence analyses due to incomplete information, and that the comparable properties cited were either located in different areas (Feltham) or were not genuinely comparable.
