What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £220,000, proposing £167,000 based on a reduced main space rate of £21 per m2 for Survey Unit 2 and removal of 1150m2 of hard surfaced land from the valuation. The tribunal upheld the respondent's tone of value at £35 per m2, finding the respondent's rental evidence from a comparable unit and five other comparable assessments of similar age with same or higher tones of value to be persuasive, while attaching little weight to the appellant's comparables which were significantly older. The tribunal also upheld inclusion of the land, finding it was properly valued as an additional feature with a reasonable 610m2 disregard for circulation and access already made.
