What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the RV should be reduced to £665,000 (£417.85 psm) based on adjusted rental evidence from the subject property's lease and comparison with a neighbouring property valued at £417.85 psm. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, placing most weight on assessment evidence from comparable properties at 1, 2, and 3-4 Carlton House Terrace on the same terrace, all valued at £550 psm, finding the RV of £875,000 was reasonable and supported by the assessment evidence of the wider terrace.
