What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants challenged the rateable values of four office properties on Birmingham Business Park, arguing for a £ per m2 rate of £160 rather than the original £170. The tribunal considered comparable rental evidence, particularly 1st Floor Left, 6270 Bishop Court which analysed to £162.11 per m2 and was more aligned with the subject properties in size, along with other assessments in the locality that had adopted £160 per m2 despite higher rental analysis. The tribunal concluded that £160 per m2 was reasonable and allowed the appeals.
