What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant's surveyor initially sought a price per square metre of £360/m² for the shop space, compared to the Valuation Officer's original defence of £480/m². The parties reached a verbal agreement on the day before the hearing at £395/m². The tribunal ratified this agreement, finding the original assessment of £42,500 RV excessive and reduced it to £37,500 RV, with effect from 1 April 2023.
