What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a 10% end allowance for lack of insulation and lower quality of the warehouse, claiming it should be assessed at £89,500 rather than £99,500. The tribunal found that although the subject property and surrounding units at Manchester International Freight Terminal were uniformly uninsulated, this deficiency would already be reflected in rental values, as prospective tenants would reasonably expect such conditions. An end allowance requires demonstrating a disadvantage not commonly shared by other properties in the same locality; since the uninsulation was typical of the immediate area, no allowance was justified.
