What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants contended that the subject properties on the M11 Business Link estate should be valued at an unadjusted rate (UAR) of £85/m² based on comparable properties with lower rates, whereas the Valuation Officer argued for £87/m² based on the actual rent of the subject property and comparable rental evidence. The tribunal found that Unit 15, with a lease commencing on the antecedent valuation date at £88.02/m², provided the strongest comparable evidence, supporting the £87/m² rate and establishing a tone for smaller industrial units on the same estate. The appeals were dismissed.
