What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £43,250 based on rental evidence, proposing £30,250 at £32 per m². The tribunal accepted that the subject property's lease of £30,000 (commenced February 2015, equating to £31.42 per m²) was the most reliable evidence being only two months before the AVD of 1 April 2015. The tribunal found the original base rate of £45 per m² excessive and that rental evidence supported a reduction to £32 per m².
