What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a reduced rateable value of £71,000 based on a main space price of £85/m². The tribunal found the passing rent for the subject property at £112/m² was too far from the valuation date to be reliable. Applying the Lotus & Delta guidance on tone of list comparables, the tribunal found that comparable property 2 Valley Centre with a passing rent analysed to £100.13/m² supported the VO's assessment of £83,500 RV (based on £100/m²). The appellant provided insufficient evidence to prove the valuation was unreasonable, so the appeal was dismissed.
