What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the rateable value of £54,500 was excessive and should be reduced to £50,000 based on a tone of £215 per m², arguing the appeal property (Grade B office) should be valued in line with comparable Grade A properties in Maidenhead at that rate. The tribunal found the passing rent on the appeal property compelling as it was a new lease agreed circa four to five months before the AVD of 1 April 2015 on open market values, and this rent evidence supported the unadjusted rate of £233.29 per m² and RV of £54,500. The appeal was dismissed as the tribunal prioritised the contemporary rent evidence over comparable tone arguments.
