4TH FLR WATERFRONT, MANBRE ROAD, W6 9SF

What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of 4th Floor Waterfront, seeking reduction from £475/m² to £360/m², equivalent to RV of £305,000. The appellant relied on rental evidence from comparable properties at Hammersmith Road showing rates of £404-405/m², but the tribunal found these leases were not sufficiently close to the antecedent valuation date and lacked full lease documentation for verification. The tribunal found the subject property's RV was reasonably assessed based on the rental evidence from the same building (£508.84/m²), comparable assessment evidence in the locality (all at £475/m²), and the overall basket of evidence, and dismissed the appeal.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Cathay Pacific Airways Limited, represented.
