What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in rateable value from £131,000 (£72.94/m²) to £94,500 based on claims that the tone of the valuation was too high. The tribunal preferred rental evidence from BUFAB UK Ltd (£82.79/m²), a new open market letting close to the antecedent valuation date, over the appellant's comparables, finding it conformed most closely to the statutory definition of rateable value. As the appeal property's valuation was significantly lower than the BUFAB transaction, the tribunal found the existing RV was not unreasonable and dismissed the appeal.
