What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued the subject property (workshop and premises of 5,979.77m²) should be valued at £25/m² with a 30% flood risk allowance, seeking a rateable value of £85,000. The Valuation Officer defended valuations of £162,000 and £176,000 based on £30/m² tone. The tribunal found the £30/m² tone was justified by comparable properties within the same scheme and dismissed the appeal as the main space price increase from the 2010 list reflected rental market changes. The tribunal also rejected the 30% flood allowance as there was no evidence the property had actually been flooded or incurred costs related to flooding.
