What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction from £108,000 (£65/m²) to £83,000 (£50/m²) on the basis of rental evidence and comparable properties. The tribunal found the subject property's rent (between connected parties) carried little weight without evidence of open market value. The tribunal accepted the Murdoch Road comparable property (£66/m²) as best evidence but concluded the subject property's superior eaves height offset the quality differences, warranting £60/m² rather than the appellant's £50/m² or the original £65/m². The valuation was reduced to £100,000.
