What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the original rateable value of £36,000 (£67.99 per m²), proposing £22,750 (£43.34 per m²). The Valuation Officer had revised it to £26,500 (£50 per m²) using Spa House as a comparable, applying a 0.33 relativity to its mezzanine. The tribunal accepted the appellant's analysis that the standard mezzanine relativity should be 1.1, not 0.33, which reduced Spa House's analysis to £43.44 per m². The tribunal adopted £43.00 per m² as a price reflecting both the subject rent and the corrected Spa House analysis, reducing the rateable value to £24,500.
