What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the rateable value to £50,750 RV based on a main space price of £42/m², arguing that the VO's assessment of £64,000 RV was unreasonable. The tribunal rejected this, finding that the subject property was valued in line with other comparable units in the IO Centre, where a tone of value at £55/m² had been established through unchallenged assessments since 2017. The tribunal preferred the VO's tonal evidence from 12 similar properties located very close to the subject property.
