What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants challenged the 2023 rating list entries for two office properties, arguing for lower unit prices per m2 (£82/m2 and £87.50/m2 respectively) based on comparables and quantum allowance principles. The tribunal found that rental evidence from nearby properties on the same site supported the Valuation Officer's revised valuations at £92.50/m2 and dismissed the appeals, noting the appellants failed to provide comparable evidence to support their contentions, particularly for the larger freehold property.
Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Eve Taylor (London) Limited, represented.
