What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants challenged the £170 per m2 tone applied to four office units at Birmingham Business Park, seeking £160 per m2. The tribunal found that rental evidence from a comparably-sized property (6270 Bishop Court) at £162.11 per m2, combined with the adopted tone of larger properties in the respondent's evidence, which analysed to £172-£202 per m2 but were assessed at £160 per m2, supported the lower rate. The tribunal allowed the appeals and altered the RV's to £160 per m2 with effect from 1 April 2023.
