What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the RV of £72,000 (£40.00/m2) was excessive, relying on the subject property's rental analysis of £38.01/m2 and quantum adjustments applied to comparable smaller properties. The tribunal found the appellant's evidence more persuasive, accepting the rental analysis as the starting point and determining that no evidence supported a base rate above £38.00/m2 when adjusted for the property's size relative to comparables. The appeal was allowed with the RV reduced to £68,500.
