What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged an RV of £60,500 on the basis that areas added after a December 2024 inspection had been previously excluded from the 2010 Rating List as incapable of beneficial occupation, and disputed relativities applied to certain spaces. The tribunal found the evidence demonstrated the property remained in poor repair with no change in condition between 2010 and 2017, and that the respondent failed to justify including previously excluded areas. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part, reducing the RV to £49,000 by applying zero relativities to the disputed newly-added areas whilst maintaining relativities for other disputed sections.
