What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in the rateable value from £265/m² to £225/m² based on comparable offices in Windsor where agreements had been made at that rate. The tribunal found that the appellant's comparable properties were either significantly larger, dated inside despite external renovations, or too distant from Windsor Town Centre. The tribunal placed most weight on rental evidence from similar properties (Minton Place, Assurant House, and 2-4 Victoria Street) and tonal comparables that supported the existing rate of £265/m², and dismissed the appeal.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Record Group Services Limited, represented.
