What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the RV should be reduced from £1,490,000 to £855,000 based on a main space price of £150/m² derived from passing rent and comparable lettings. The tribunal found that the current RV based on a main space price of £240/m² was reasonable, accepting that similar-sized properties in the locality were valued at this rate and that the rent analysis failed to properly account for the capital cost of recent refurbishment.
