What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that the RV of £29,750 (at £350/m2) was excessive, proposing a reduction to £16,500 (at £190/m2) based on the subject property's lease rent of £20,000 per annum from March 2015. The tribunal found that whilst the subject rent was relevant evidence, it was inconsistent with comparable rents from neighbouring properties in Great Square, which analysed significantly higher (ranging from £311-£496/m2) and supported the tone of £350/m2 ITZA established for the area. The appellant failed to demonstrate the assessment was unreasonable and the appeal was dismissed.
