What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a reduction in rateable value from £204,000 (£220/m²) to £176,000 (£190/m²), citing static passing rent at £244.48/m² and comparable smaller units valued at £190/m². The tribunal found that the appellant's main comparable (Unit 5B1) had been erroneously valued at £190/m² due to a quantum adjustment that should not have applied after the unit was split from a larger property, and placed greater weight on the respondent's comparable properties of similar size valued at £220/m², which were supported by rental evidence. The appeal was dismissed and the original £204,000 rateable value confirmed.
