What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduced RV of £109,500 (£30 per m²) arguing the original £146,000 (£38 per m²) was excessive, proposing adjustments based on unit size differentials. The tribunal found that the analysed rents from the subject property itself (ranging from £37.18 to £39.06 per m²) supported the £38 per m² base rate, rejecting the appellant's approach of applying size-based differentials from larger comparable units. The appeal was dismissed and the RV confirmed at £139,000.
