What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the subject property's RV of £287,500, proposing £125,600 based on a zone A rate of £1,200/m2, citing COVID impacts and 13 vacant properties on Cheapside. The Valuation Officer revised its position to £1,700/m2 (£179,000 RV). The tribunal found the strongest evidence to be comparable rents at 101 Cheapside and 90 Cheapside, which supported the £1,700/m2 tone, and rejected the appellant's proposed lower rate and shape allowance claim due to insufficient evidence.
