What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant's representative sought a reduced tone rate of £360/m² (later reduced to £300/m²), arguing the existing assessment at £410/m² was excessive. The Valuation Officer defended a revised rate of £380/m². On the morning of the hearing, both parties agreed an RV of £141,000 with effect from 1 April 2017, which the tribunal found reasonable and accepted, reducing the original assessment from £149,000.
