What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants argued that the original rateable values of £106,000 and £107,000 (at £250/m²) were excessive and sought a reduction to £175/m². They relied on rental evidence from other Switchback units and argued that comparable properties at Foundation Park demonstrated over-valuation. The tribunal found that Foundation Park units, though superior, evidenced that £250/m² was unreasonable, but the appellant's proposed £175/m² was not fully supported by the totality of evidence. The tribunal determined £225/m² was reasonable, resulting in reduced RVs of £96,000 and £97,000.
