What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the subject warehouse should be valued at £42.50/m² (£49,750) based on the rent passing of £50,000 per annum from November 2021, analysing to £42.83/m². The tribunal found that the rent had been artificially suppressed due to the approved residential development and planned demolition of the site, which formed part of the lease negotiations. Testing the subject rent against comparable warehouses in the wider Northwest London area (which rented at £70–£96/m²), the tribunal concluded the rent was an outlier and insufficient evidence supported a reduction from the current valuation of £98,000 (£85/m²).
