What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued for a reduction to £73,000 RV (based on £220 psm) citing the comparable settlement of a neighbouring property at the same rate and contending that the 2017 list closure meant settlement evidence should carry greater weight. The tribunal found that the subject property rent, agreed only two months before the antecedent valuation date of 1 April 2015, was the primary evidence. Although the neighbouring property had been settled at £220 psm, it was not truly comparable due to being almost four times larger, and one settlement alone did not demonstrate a tone in the locality. The tribunal affirmed the RV of £110,000 as reasonable based on the subject rent analysed to £308.63-£310.77 psm.
