What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought allowances for lack of natural light in the kitchen/canteen area (2.5%), major stanchions within the building (2.5%), and fragmented layout (5%), along with other valuations adjustments, seeking to reduce the RV from £207,000 to £188,000. The tribunal found the appellant's representative had not produced substantive evidence to support the proposed allowances, with limited comparable properties and no supporting examples. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, maintaining the RV at £205,000 effective from 1 April 2021.
