What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of £1,020,000, proposing £980,000 based on a reduced price per square metre from £460/m² to £440/m². The appellant's representative presented rental evidence from the actual lease and identified 35 comparable assessments within the same scheme that had been reduced to £440/m², establishing a clear tone of value. The tribunal found the VO's adopted rate of £460/m² excessive and allowed the appeal, confirming the lower rate of £440/m² supported by the comparable assessments and rental analysis.
