What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the subject factory's assessment should be reduced to £28,000 RV (£9.17/m²) based on its below-market rent of £30,000 pa, which reflected poor quality and high maintenance costs. The tribunal found the rent was out of line with comparable properties in the locality (which analysed to £15.94-£21.88/m²) and accepted that while a 10% quality allowance was reasonable, the comparable evidence and assessments supported the £52,000 RV (£18.50/m²) determination. The appeal was dismissed.
