What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants challenged the main space rate of £1,100/m² applied to two office properties at 23 Savile Row, seeking reduction to £950/m². They argued that comparable rental evidence from 24 Savile Row, 10 New Burlington Street, and 1 New Burlington Place, which had lower rates of £1,007.50/m² or £950-£1,000/m², supported their challenge. The tribunal found that while the comparable properties were prime office locations, 23 Savile Row benefited from superior architectural features, unique site location, and comprehensive facilities that justified the higher rate. The tribunal dismissed the appeals, finding the existing assessments of £685,000 (2017-2020), £720,000 (2020-2023), and £1,690,000 were not unreasonable.
