What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the RV from £505,000 to £485,000 based on comparable evidence. The tribunal found the appellant's comparable property (18 Eastways at £50/m2) more persuasive than the Valuation Officer's comparables (20 Freebournes Road and Francis House), accepting that the latter were not reliable due to significant differences. Although the tribunal determined £50/m2 was appropriate, the agreed changes in survey area/relativities meant the resulting RV remained £505,000, so the appeal was dismissed with no change to the list.
