What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the RV of £63,500 was too high and sought a reduction to £58,500, arguing that an end allowance of 7.5% should be applied to reflect poor access down a narrow untarmacked side lane. The tribunal found that whilst access to the subject property was poor, it was to a lesser extent than the comparable property cited. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part, adopting an end allowance of 5% rather than 7.5%, resulting in an RV of £60,000.
