What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants challenged the £ per m2 rate applied to four office properties at Birmingham Business Park, seeking £160 per m2 instead of the listed £170 per m2. The tribunal was persuaded by rental evidence from a comparable property of similar size (1st Flr Left, 6270 Bishop Court at £162.11 per m2) and the adopted tone across larger comparable properties (£160 per m2), concluding that £160 per m2 was the reasonable rate for the subject properties.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Unielectronics Ltd, represented.
