What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £42,750 arguing the property was over-assessed and proposed £37,750 based on rental evidence and comparable properties. The tribunal found that the tone of £68.18/m² was excessive, placing greater weight on the appellant's analysis of the actual rent (£60.70/m²) and the comparable properties which supported a reduced rate of £60/m², resulting in a new RV of £37,750 being determined.
