What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants argued for a reduction in the price per m² from £185 to between £120-£140 based on limited rental evidence, contending the adopted price was excessive. The tribunal found that whilst rental evidence was limited, the two best comparables (6 Arlington Court at £122-£125/£140 per m² and 10 Gateway 1000 at £183 per m²) supported a middle position, and determined that £150 per m² was a reasonable price between the lower and higher rental evidence, being close to the lease renewal level.
