What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants argued that the unadjusted rates of £50/m2 applied to both subject properties were excessive and should be reduced to £43/m2 and £44/m2 respectively, citing concerns about the valuation scheme and tonal comparables. The tribunal found that the passing rent evidence was not helpful in its own right, and the comparable property evidence, particularly Unit 1 The Links with a rent analysed at £50.11/m2 and UAR of £50/m2, did not demonstrate that the existing RVs were excessive. The tribunal dismissed the appeals as the appellant failed to evidentially demonstrate the RVs should be reduced.
