What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the appeal property, a refurbished third-floor office with comfort cooling rather than full air conditioning, should receive a 5% allowance reducing the valuation from £500/m2 to £475/m2. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the expert opinion regarding the allowance was unsupported by comparable evidence; the available rental evidence (at £649.03/m2 and £597.13/m2) indicated the £500/m2 valuation was reasonable, and the respondent provided evidence of comparable offices in the locality that had not received comfort cooling allowances.
