What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that a UAR (unadjusted rate) of £110 per m² was reasonable for the vehicle repair workshop, compared to the Valuation Officer's figure of £130 per m², relying on comparables at lower rates and the absence of professional representation when the lease was agreed. The tribunal found the passing rent of £152.90 per m² from the 2016 lease review and rental evidence from other units on the same industrial estate supported the £130 per m² valuation as reasonable, and dismissed the appeal.
