What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a 5% end allowance to reflect the split nature of the property (two separate warehouse units with no internal connection). The tribunal found insufficient evidence that the split site warranted such an allowance. Although the appellant relied on one comparable property that had received a 5% allowance for similar circumstances, the tribunal considered each case on its own merits and determined that the disadvantage of moving goods between buildings was not sufficiently detrimental to justify the allowance. The appeal was dismissed and the assessment remained at £62,500 RV.
