What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that the original RV of £710,000 (£110/m²) was too high and proposed £550,000 (£85/m²). The tribunal, using comparable assessment evidence from eight local office buildings, found that the appellant's approach was more persuasive. The tribunal determined that the property should be valued at £85/m² based on comparable properties, particularly the 100 Hatherton Street building at £95/m², adjusting for the subject property's larger size, and allowed the appeal by reducing the RV to £550,000.
