What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants sought a reduction in the tone applied to two adjoining office floors at 33 Alfred Place from £575/m2 to £475/m2, arguing this was supported by comparable evidence. The tribunal found the existing tone of £575/m2 was reasonable, being supported by rents agreed at nearby properties in Alfred Place close to the valuation date, specifically rents at Remax House and Whittington House which analysed to £611.38/m2 and £627.64/m2 respectively. The appellant's comparable examples were either too far from the subject property, explained by inferior accommodation standards, or had since been altered to higher valuations in the rating list.
