What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant's surveyor contended that the subject workshop and premises had been valued in the wrong Valuation Scheme and sought a main space rate of £12.50 per m² (compared to £24 per m²), proposing £20,000 RV, and also sought a 10% material change allowance for road closure. The tribunal found the subject was in the correct Scheme but accepted that the respondent's evidence was weak, comprising only an historic 2010 agreed value and Co Star data. The tribunal determined £20 per m² as the lowest reasonable value in the correct Scheme range, resulting in £29,500 RV. The road closure allowance was dismissed as there was adequate alternative access and no evidence of impact to trade or other properties.
