What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of £231,000 for an office property, arguing it should be valued at £212,000 with a main space price of £110/m2 rather than the original £120/m2, citing a quantum allowance for larger properties. The tribunal found that comparable evidence, particularly two offices in Arnhem House differing by £10/m2 despite the larger one being larger in size, supported the appellant's argument for a quantum allowance. However, the tribunal determined the main space price should be £115/m2 rather than the £110/m2 sought, as the appellant had not sufficiently proved the full reduction was purely attributable to quantum allowance, resulting in a tribunal RV of £221,000.
