What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a reduction in the rateable value from £112,000 to £100,000, arguing that a base rate of £37/m² with a 20% uplift (£44.40/m²) was reasonable, rather than the unadjusted rate of £50/m². The tribunal found that the comparable properties put forward by both parties—mostly smaller rent reviews and renewals rather than open market lettings—were of limited assistance. The tribunal determined that a tone of value had been established within the valuation scheme at £50/m² and that the appellant had not provided sufficient evidence to demonstrate the existing RV was unreasonable, accordingly dismissing the appeal.
