What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants (three companies) contended that the unadjusted rate (UAR) applied to three industrial units should be reduced from £47.50/m² to £45/m². The tribunal examined rental evidence, comparable properties on the industrial estate, and rental growth statistics between 2017 and 2023. The tribunal found the £47.50/m² rate was fair and reasonable based on comparable properties and rental evidence, and dismissed two appeals; however, following a VO inspection that revealed 5 Landsberg had different floor areas than originally recorded, the tribunal allowed that appeal in part, adopting the VO's proposed assessment of £63,500 RV.
