What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant's representative challenged the floor areas and the tone of £105 per m², providing measured plans and settled comparables from the same scheme. The tribunal found the appellant's floor area measurements to be credible (the VO provided no supporting evidence) and accepted settled evidence from Rock Building (NW10 7NU) and Santa Fe House (both reduced to £95 and £87.50 per m² respectively). The tribunal found £105 per m² unreasonable and adopted £95 per m², allowing the appeal and confirming RV £400,000.
