What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended the subject property, a timber merchant workshop of 2,145.6m², should be valued at £52.50/m² (£86,000 RV) based on comparables from the adjacent Peacock Industrial Estate, citing the subject property's basic specification and poor condition. The Valuation Officer defended the £60/m² base rate (£97,500 RV) as supported by rental evidence from comparable properties across London N17. The tribunal found the subject property was of materially lower quality than the comparables and adopted a rate of £55/m² (£90,000 RV), allowing the appeal in part.
