What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant (Thomas Murray Network Management Limited) challenged the rateable value for two office properties at 1 Farriers Yard, Fulham Palace Road, proposing £116,000 for Appeal 1 and £51,000 for Appeal 2, arguing that the tone of £370/m² was excessive and should be reduced to £275/m². The tribunal examined rental evidence from five comparable properties in the same or adjacent building, finding that whilst the subject rents were agreed some time before the antecedent valuation date (1 April 2021), the comparable evidence from 4th Floor South East, Horatio House and 2nd Floor North Rear East supported a higher valuation close to the original assessments. The tribunal dismissed the appeals, finding that the appellant had not provided sufficient evidence to demonstrate that £370/m² was unreasonable.
