What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a 5% layout allowance to be applied to the whole assessment and an additional 5% mixed age allowance for the differing construction styles and maintenance requirements of buildings constructed between 1965-1994. The tribunal found the layout allowance should be applied across the whole assessment but dismissed the mixed age allowance claim, noting that comparable properties in the locality with similar mixed-age characteristics had no such allowance and that the age differences had already been accounted for in the individual building assessments. The RV remained at £110,000.
