What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value on the grounds that the tone of list was too high. The tribunal considered rental evidence, settled assessments of comparable industrial properties, and the subject property's characteristics including eaves height and refurbishment. The tribunal found the original RV of £377,500 unreasonable and reduced it to £335,000 at £32.50 psm, finding this appropriately reflected the comparables while accounting for the subject property's superior eaves height and refurbishment compared to most comparables, though the appellant's proposed £302,500 was rejected as too low.
