What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant, Allied Irish Bank GB, challenged the rateable values of two office units in a nine-storey building in Ealing, contending the current valuations at £300/m² were excessive and should be reduced to £277.50/m² (later revised to £280/m²). The tribunal accepted the appellant's approach to rental evidence analysis, particularly regarding the appropriate uplift for Category B fitted-out offices (£20/m² rather than the VO's assumed £200/m² amortised approach), and found that comparable rental evidence and assessment evidence from similar nearby offices supported a reduction to £280/m², allowing the appeals in part.
