What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a 5% fragmentation allowance, contending the property suffered from divided unit disadvantages. The tribunal accepted that the property was entitled to an allowance for the limited internal access (1.79m doorway of standard height insufficient for forklift passage), but determined a 4% allowance was more appropriate than the sought 5%, having regard to comparable properties with pedestrian-only internal access which received 5%. The tribunal reduced the RV from £12,750 to £12,250.
