What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant contended that the rateable value should be reduced from £130,000 to £91,500 initially, then to £94,000, based on a reduced tone of value for main space at £35–£45 per m², supported by comparables on the Pool Road estate and similar locations. The tribunal found the respondent's comparable assessments more reliable due to verified rental evidence (forms of return), particularly 2 Gresham Road, and accepted that while the subject hereditament was in a somewhat inferior location and specification, the appellant's comparables were insufficiently reliable to justify a tone as low as argued. The tribunal confirmed the valuation officer's reduced rateable value of £117,000 (£45 per m²) as fair and reasonable.
