What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the price per m2 should be reduced from £120/m2 to £115/m2, comparing the property to its 2017 list entry and submitting comparable assessments at £110/m2. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the appellant failed to provide suitable evidence that the VO's assessment was unreasonable, and that rental evidence from 6 Auchinleck Drive (£140/m2 in October 2021) demonstrated market growth supporting the £5/m2 uplift in the 2023 list, making comparison to the 2017 entry inappropriate.
