What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of £40,250 (based on £160/m2) and sought reduction to £24,750, later revised to £27,250 (based on £120/m2), arguing the valuation was unreasonable compared to comparable rents on the industrial estate. The tribunal found that the most useful comparable evidence was the rent on Unit 5, a new letting agreed shortly before the antecedent valuation date, which supported the tone of £160/m2 applied to the subject property. The tribunal concluded the existing valuation was reasonable and within the range of the scheme, and dismissed the appeal.
