What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant company argued that a reduction in rateable value was warranted for material change of circumstances: approximately one third of the seventh floor was certified unsafe following roof damage, and three of eight floors lacked adequate heating and cooling from January 2020. The tribunal found that whilst insufficient evidence supported a reduction for the heating/cooling issue, a reduction was warranted for the seventh floor following the appellant's relocation in January 2023 due to the dangerous condition. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part, reducing the RV by £8,628 for the affected seventh floor area.
