What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged assessments for 146 serviced office units at the building, arguing for reductions to reflect building works disturbance and to apply a lower tone of £380 per m² rather than £395 per m². The parties reached agreement on revised valuations applying a 4% allowance for building works disturbance from April 2017 and an additional 4% for the period August 2017 to October 2020, with the agreed tone of £380 per m² applied across the building. The tribunal ratified the agreed valuations in accordance with Regulation 38(7) of the VTE Procedure Regulations.
