What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants argued that the current assessments of £38,500 and £37,250 were unreasonable and sought reductions to £14,500 and £11,000 respectively, based on recent rental evidence (£12,222 and £13,110 per annum) analysing to £60/m2, arguing this demonstrated a significant disparity with the adopted rate of £200/m2. The tribunal found the rental evidence was too remote from the 1 April 2015 antecedent valuation date (occurring 5-8 years later) to carry weight, and the comparable assessment evidence provided by the appellants was geographically distant from the appeal properties. The tribunal found the valuation officer's comparable properties in the same business centre, with similar ages and sizes, supported the current unadjusted rate of £200/m2, and accordingly dismissed the appeals.
