What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £705,000 (£240/m2), arguing it should be £485,000 (£165/m2). The VO conceded to £585,000 (£200/m2) during challenge. The Tribunal found that the £200/m2 main space rate was excessive, as the VO's rental evidence was limited in comparability and the Tribunal placed greater weight on comparable assessment evidence showing properties at similar £165/m2 rates. The Tribunal allowed the appeal and set the RV at £485,000 effective 1 April 2023.
