What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the price per m² of £2,700 was unreasonable because the units were on upper floors with less footfall (secondary location), were subject to restricted opening hours, and that a landlord concession suggested the rent was inflated. The tribunal found that rental evidence from the immediate locality from 2014-15 (ranging from £1,360.07 to £3,022.97 per m²) supported the adopted price of £2,700 per m². The tribunal rejected arguments about secondary location and restricted hours, finding no compelling supporting evidence, and disregarded the concession as Covid-19 related per the Rating (Coronavirus) Act 2021.
