What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to carry forward a 7.5% end allowance for the building's long narrow shape from the 2010 and 2017 lists into the 2023 list, citing a presumption that such allowances should continue. The tribunal found insufficient evidence to support the allowance, noting that the appellant produced only 4 comparable properties with allowances out of 55 in the same scheme, the comparable properties with allowances had lower percentages (5%), and the valuation officer's evidence from 19 similar properties in the locality, none carrying end allowances, supported the unadjusted rate. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, confirming the RV of £262,500.
