What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the rateable value from £367,500 to £327,500 (equivalent to £165/m2), arguing that the property's valuation was not reasonable. The appellant relied on a rent re-gear on the subject property agreed during COVID, while the Valuation Officer relied on a more recent new letting at GND and Part 1st Blake House. The tribunal found the evidence of the newer, open-market letting at Blake House (£220/m2, analysed down to £185/m2 to reflect quality differences) more persuasive than the COVID-period rent reconfiguration, and dismissed the appeal, confirming the RV of £367,500.
