What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the property should be valued at £25/m² based on rental evidence from 2013 analysed at £24.99/m². The tribunal found that rents in the locality had grown significantly between 2013 and the antecedent valuation date (April 2015), as evidenced by rent reviews on comparable units showing increases from £24.15/m² to £38.49/m² over that period. Therefore, the tribunal upheld the original valuation of £28/m², finding it was not unreasonable.
