What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the 2017 RV of £235,000 (reduced by VO to £220,000) seeking £190,000 based on a Double Bed Unit (DBU) of £3,150. The appellant argued the DBU should be lower, citing location disadvantages and comparative properties with lower DBUs, and relied on trading accounts. The tribunal rejected the trading accounts as post-AVD evidence and found them unreliable for determining rateable value. The tribunal upheld the VO's DBU of £4,000 (RV £220,000) as reasonable, noting the property's proximity to underground transport, the established tone of DBUs for central London comparable properties (£4,000-£5,000), and that the appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence to support the lower DBU.
