Bristol Street Motors Vauxhall, 3 Shadbolt Avenue, E4 8PZ

What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that an end allowance of 5% for poor access to the subject car showroom should be carried forward from the 2010 list, as the access circumstances had not changed. The Valuation Officer argued that rental bids would not be affected by access given changes in car purchasing methods, with customers now researching online before visiting. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the access was not such a disability as to affect the hypothetical rental bid, given the property's visibility from the main road, clear signposting, adequate access points, and modern purchasing patterns.
