What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, a public body, argued for a reduction from £1,630,000 to £1,530,000 based on comparable rental evidence and assessments at lower price per square metre rates. The tribunal found that the best comparable evidence was rental evidence at nearby 81 Alie Street, which analysed to £350.81/m2 at the antecedent valuation date and supported the higher valuation. The tribunal determined that the adopted rate of £319.90/m2 was reasonable and dismissed the appeal.
