What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the valuation of £41,250 (at £80/m2) was not reasonable and sought reduction to £31,000 (£60/m2). The tribunal found the open market letting on the subject property effective at the AVD was strong evidence, supporting £60/m2, and was more persuasive than the Valuation Officer's reliance on comparable lease renewals. The appeal was allowed and the RV reduced to £31,000.
