What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants sought a reduction in the unadjusted rate (UAR) from £50/m2 to £45/m2 for appeal 1 and similar reductions for appeals 2 and 3, contending there had been minimal rental growth between 2017 and 2023. The Tribunal found the existing UAR of £47.50/m2 to be fair and reasonable based on comparable evidence, published statistics showing 38% rent increases, and the June 2023 rent on the property analysed at £55.42/m2. Appeals 1 and 3 were dismissed, but appeal 2 was allowed in part due to revised measurements discovered on inspection.
