What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, a furniture showroom company, sought to reduce the rateable value from £75,000 to £60,500 (later revised to that figure), arguing the subject property's passing rent of £63,200 supported a lower valuation at £180/m² rather than the existing £215/m². The Tribunal found that while the subject property's rent had not increased on review in 2020, the Valuation Officer's analysis of that rent did not support reducing the valuation, and comparable evidence from a smaller unit to the rear (analysed at £407/m² but valued at £225/m²) supported the existing tone. The Tribunal concluded the appellant had not discharged the burden of proving the existing valuation unreasonable, and dismissed the appeal.
