What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants argued that the current valuation was unreasonable and sought a reduction based on the rent payable and comparable properties. The tribunal found that the rental evidence was too remote from the antecedent valuation date (April 2015) to carry weight, and the appellants' selected comparables were geographically distant. The tribunal preferred the VO's evidence of similarly-sized and aged properties in the immediate locality, which supported the current unadjusted rate of £200/m2.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was FJ Corvan Limited, represented.
