What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants argued that the price per m² of £2,700 adopted was not reasonable, contending that the hereditaments were in secondary locations due to being on upper floors with less footfall, and that a landlord concession and restricted opening hours should reduce value. The tribunal found that rental evidence from the immediate locality from close to the antecedent valuation date (2014-15) ranging from £1,360 to £3,023 per m² supported the adopted price, and rejected arguments about secondary location status and opening hour restrictions due to lack of compelling evidence. The appeals were dismissed and the rateable values were confirmed.
