What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants challenged the rateable value of two office properties at 67-74 Saffron Hill, London, arguing that the base rate of £450/m2 was excessive. The tribunal found that rental evidence from the 1st Floor of the same building (£402/m2, January 2022 letting) and a comparable property at Baird House (reduced from £450/m2 to £365/m2) provided sufficient evidence to support a reduction. The tribunal determined the appropriate base rate was £400/m2, reducing the 3rd Floor RV to £155,000 and the basement warehouse RV to £91,000 with effect from 1 April 2023.
