What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought to reduce the RV to £16,500 based on comparable properties valued at £150/m² and a 10% end allowance for poor access and parking. The tribunal found that comparable converted nurseries in Hove providing full day care were valued between £225-£275/m², that the appellant's three settlement comparables were not comparable due to inferior construction and location, that rental evidence supported a rate of £200/m², and that there was insufficient evidence to support an end allowance for access. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part, reducing the RV to £24,750 at £200/m².
