What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the base rate of £60/m² was excessive and sought reduction to £41/m². The tribunal found the original assessment unreasonable based on the rent review dated 5 August 2021 (analysed to £30/m²), which was just four months after the AVD and indicated the current base rate was too high. The tribunal placed significant weight on a comparable property (Unit C1, Castle Bromwich Business Park) valued at £45/m², finding it the most comparable in terms of age, size and eaves height, and determined that a reduced base rate of £45/m² was appropriate, resulting in an allowed-in-part decision with a revised RV of £90,500.
