What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant, a company holding a five-year lease on a detached industrial warehouse, challenged the rateable value of £73,000 (£33.29/m2), seeking reduction to £60,000 (£27.40/m2) based on the lease rent between connected parties. The tribunal found the lease rent was between connected parties and therefore applied little weight to it. Having regard to comparable industrial properties on the estate that rented for £37-£45/m2, the tribunal concluded the adopted rate of £33.29/m2 was reasonable and not excessive. The appeal was dismissed.
