What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought to reduce the rateable value from £63,000 to £24,000, arguing for a lower single bed space (SBS) rate of £3,000 based on smaller bedroom sizes and the absence of a lift, and relying on comparables at 6 Knaresborough Place and 120 Maida Vale. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, accepting the VO's adoption of 12 SBS (rather than the appellant's 8.01) and finding that the VO's SBS rate of £6,200 was supported by the comparables, particularly 51 Kensington Court. The tribunal found insufficient evidence of material quality differences to justify a lower rate and considered the turnover evidence inconclusive.
