What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of £327,500 based on an adopted price of £550 per m2, proposing £229,000 at £425 per m2. The Valuation Officer reduced it to £277,500 at £465 per m2. The Tribunal found the same evidence and submissions had been considered in a related case (LG & 1st N W Queens House) which had been determined at £450 per m2, and allowed the appeal in part on that basis, adopting the £450 per m2 price with effect from 1 April 2023.
