What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of £209,000 based on a price of £1,400/m2, proposing a reduction to £950/m2 (RV £142,000) using comparable properties on High Holborn and rental evidence. The tribunal found the appellant's comparable properties were in different modes and categories with different floor levels, did not provide suitable comparators, and noted that a Group Pre-Challenge Review had confirmed the zone A rate of £1,400/m2 for retail properties in the parade. The appeal was dismissed as the appellant had not sufficiently demonstrated the rating list was unreasonable.
