What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £370,000 seeking a reduction to £285,000, arguing that the unadjusted assessment rate of £750/m² was excessive. The tribunal found the original assessment unreasonable, noting a 29% increase from the 2017 list was disproportionate compared to other properties such as Adeline Place which increased only 10%. Applying a 10% uplift to the 2017 assessment of £580/m² resulted in a UAR of £635/m², yielding an RV of £312,300.
