What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the RV from £83,000 to £60,000, relying on the subject property's rent review of £60,000 pa from September 2014. The respondent argued that comparable offices in Lincoln House and Hammersmith Road, valued at £360 per m², supported the original RV of £83,000 (£324 per m²). The tribunal found that while the subject property's rent should carry moderate weight, the comparable properties were of materially superior quality, and adopted a tone of £300 per m² resulting in an RV of £69,500, allowing the appeal in part.
