1 st Flr Unit 2.05, Buck Street Market 198, Camden High Street, Camden High Street, NW1 8QP

What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants argued that the price per m² adopted (£2,700) was unreasonable compared to secondary locations and that upper floor units should have lower values due to reduced footfall. They also sought to rely on rent concessions provided by the landlord. The tribunal found no compelling evidence that the units were in a secondary location or that upper floor locations commanded lower rents in this instance. The tribunal placed greatest weight on rental evidence from the immediate locality close to the antecedent valuation date (2014-15), which supported the £2,700 per m² valuation, and dismissed the appeals.
