What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants challenged the 2023 rating list valuations of £69,500 and £16,250 (reduced by the VO to £64,500 and £15,000 respectively), proposing reductions to £53,250 and £14,250. The sole issue was the correct unit price per m2 applied to the valuations. The tribunal found that comparable rents from Flag Business Exchange, particularly those dated January 2021 and January 2020, supported the VO's revised rate of £92.50/m2 rather than the appellant's proposed rates of £82/m2 and £87.50/m2. For the freehold Mallard Business Centre property, no comparable rents of similar-sized properties were presented to support a quantum discount.
