What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the unit price should be reduced from £85/m2 to £75/m2 across all three warehouse properties. The tribunal reviewed rental evidence from comparables and comparable assessments, including rents from 2015 and similar-sized warehouses on nearby estates. The tribunal found that £85/m2 was supported by comparable rental evidence and prior tribunal decisions, and therefore dismissed appeals for Units 7 and 10 at Fairway Trading Estate. However, for Units 4 & 5 at Central Park Estate, the tribunal allowed the appeal in part to reflect a reduction from £108,000 to £107,000 RV due to partial heating identified during a pre-hearing inspection.
