What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the unadjusted rate per m² of £325 on two office units, initially proposing £300 per m² (later revised to £275 per m²), arguing comparable evidence from properties outside the development supported a lower tone. The tribunal found the strongest evidence was rental data from comparable units within Porteous Place itself, which analysed to figures supporting the £325 per m² tone, and dismissed the appeal as the valuation was not unreasonable and fell within the range of comparable lettings in the development.
