What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant, which owned the freehold of the factory, challenged the 2017 Rating List assessment of £1,220,000 (UAR £30.50/m²), seeking a reduction to £1,010,000 (UAR £25.00/m²) on the basis that the unit area rate was excessive compared to comparable properties within the same valuation scheme. The tribunal found that the subject property's higher UAR was justified by virtue of its superior refurbishment and renovation works carried out between 2012-2015, as evidenced by photographs and the 2010 Rating List agreement, and that comparable properties in the locality were not sufficiently persuasive to warrant a reduction. The appeal was dismissed, with the tribunal satisfied that the existing assessment was not unreasonable.
