What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant (local authority) challenged the RV of £252,500 which had been valued using the rental method by reference to office rents. The tribunal found that in the absence of rental evidence for comparable adult education centres or offices in the locality, and noting the subject property was purpose-built with specialised teaching facilities that could not be easily converted to office use, it was appropriate to value the property using the contractors basis. The tribunal accepted the appellant's proposed RV of £88,000 based on the contractors method, which had not been contested by the Valuation Officer.
