What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable values of split and merged assessments at 110 Old Brompton Road, contending they were excessive and proposing a uniform rate of £400 per m² based on comparable rental evidence. The tribunal examined rental transactions and assessed comparables in the locality, particularly 34 Sumner Place (also a Grade 2 listed building). After allowing late evidence showing 34 Sumner Place was Grade 2 listed and therefore comparable, the tribunal determined a uniform unadjusted rate of £425 per m² was reasonable, allowing the appeals in part as this was higher than the appellant sought but lower than the original valuations.
