What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that the main space rate applied to the three office properties was excessive and should be reduced to £200/m2. The tribunal found that while rental evidence from a March 2021 licence agreement at £195.25/m2 was persuasive, some caution was warranted given that the property had previously been let at £450.05/m2 under a longer lease. The tribunal adopted a main space rate of £300/m2 as a fair and reasonable compromise, reducing the three assessments accordingly on the basis that the original rates of £350/m2 and £367.50/m2 were excessive.
