What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged whether a property previously used as a children's day nursery and currently used for storage should remain classified as 'office and premises' or be reclassified as a workshop/warehouse. The appellant argued the RV of £16,250 was excessive given the property's low-quality internal specification. The Tribunal found the property should remain classified as office accommodation based on physical characteristics (plastered ceilings, heating, quality windows) despite poor condition, but agreed the rate of £74.85 per m² was excessive. The Tribunal applied a reduced rate of £61.75 per m² to reflect the property's disadvantages including substandard toilet facilities and unfinished internal walls, resulting in a tribunal RV of £13,750.
