What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of £282,500 (applying a main space rate of £29/m2), arguing it should be reduced to £270,000 (£27.50/m2), relying primarily on the passing rent from a 2019 lease. The tribunal found the appellant's rental evidence too remote from the antecedent valuation date and supported by inconsistent documentation, whereas the Valuation Officer's valuation was underpinned by a broader basket of regional rental and assessment evidence. Applying the principles from Lotus and Delta v Culverwell, the tribunal concluded the appellant had not provided sufficiently convincing evidence to displace the existing assessment and dismissed the appeal.
