What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the RV of £232,000 seeking a reduction to £151,000 by applying a 30% end allowance for flood risk. The tribunal found that the subject property, located in a level three flood risk area and subject to frequent flooding, warranted an end allowance as flooding created a particular and impactful disadvantage compared to other properties. The tribunal applied the 30% end allowance supported by comparable evidence from other flood-affected properties, reducing the RV to £151,000.
