What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a 5% end allowance for divide/split site status, arguing that comparable properties with similar disabilities supported this reduction from £38,750 to £36,750. The tribunal found that end allowances were specific to individual circumstances and should not be applied solely based on concessions granted elsewhere. The comparable properties cited were not in the same valuation scheme, and the appellant provided insufficient detailed evidence to justify the allowance. The tribunal noted the two buildings were not significantly disadvantageous to trading potential and dismissed the appeal, confirming the RV of £38,750.
