What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a reduction of approximately 37% in the price per m² for the showroom and a 5% allowance for site layout, arguing that low ceiling heights and two separate buildings disadvantaged the property. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part, accepting that the low ceiling height of the showroom justified a 5% reduction to the adopted rate as it would influence a hypothetical tenant's rental bid, but rejected the allowance for two separate buildings as a conscious business choice unsubstantiated by comparable evidence. The RV was reduced from £272,500 to £270,000.
