What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of £135,000 (at £150/m2) arguing for £126,000 (at £140/m2) based on comparable evidence. The tribunal analysed rental data from two comparable units in Great Western Court (0.3 miles away with rents analysing to £144.33/m2 and £146.73/m2), noting that the 7.15% increase from the 2017 list was out of kilter with the 3.1% growth in the locality. The tribunal adopted a revised rate of £145/m2, reducing the RV to £131,000.
