What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of a warehouse unit at Barton Business Park, arguing it should be reduced from £210,000 to £181,000 on the basis that an unadjusted rate of £50/m² was reasonable rather than the £58/m² adopted. The tribunal examined rental evidence from comparable properties, particularly Unit C2 at the same business park, and found that the amortisation period over the whole lease term (as adopted by the Valuation Officer) was the appropriate method, yielding an analysed rent of £58.37/m². The tribunal was satisfied that the evidence supported the established tone of £58-60/m² for similar warehouses on the estate and dismissed the appeal, confirming the RV of £210,000.
