What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of £215,000 (£67.50 per m2) for a 1970s warehouse complex, proposing £183,000 (£60 per m2) based on two comparable properties assessed at lower rates. The Valuation Officer defended £67.50 per m2 with reference to the subject property's rent (£79.58 per m2), comparable rental evidence, comparable assessments, and settlement evidence. The tribunal found the adopted price of £67.50 per m2 was not unreasonable when viewed against the subject rent and other scheduled comparable rents for similar aged properties, and dismissed the appeal.
