What was argued and what the tribunal found

The Appellant sought to reduce the rateable value from £145,000 to £130,000 by challenging the tone of value applied to the subject warehouse from £85.00 per m² to £75.00 per m². The Tribunal, considering rental evidence from the subject property (£128,600 pa agreed October 2019, analysed at £84.49 per m²) and comparable units on the same Easter Park estate, concluded that the rate of £85.00 per m² was reasonable and not excessive. The Tribunal preferred the Valuation Officer's analysis and dismissed the appeal, finding the original RV of £145,000 properly reflected the market conditions at the antecedent valuation date.
