349, ROMAN ROAD, E3 5QR

What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the Zone A price per m2 of £450, proposing a reduction to £340 per m2 based on a Tribunal decision for a neighbouring double unit at 341-343 Roman Road. The Tribunal found that the neighbouring property was not directly comparable as it was a double unit, the decision did not explicitly state the zone price adopted, and there was insufficient evidence in that case. The Tribunal accepted the Valuation Officer's rental evidence from multiple comparable properties on Roman Road, which consistently supported a tone of £450 per m2, and found no compelling reasons to distinguish the subject parade as unusual or isolated. Accordingly, the appeals were dismissed and the RV of £17,000 (and subsequently £16,000 from 24 January 2022) was upheld.
