What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought deletion of the rating list entry following fire damage on 23 March 2013, arguing the property became incapable of use. The tribunal found that despite significant fire and water damage, the property remained a hereditament capable of repair. Under the statutory repair assumption, the property had to be valued as if in a state of reasonable repair, and the cost of repairs (approximately £156,000-£203,000) was economic for the landlord to undertake, capable of being recouped within 3-5 years. The appeal was dismissed.
