What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants challenged the 2023 rating list entries for Unit 10 (RV £89,500) and Unit 6 (RV £117,000), a retail warehouse and premises at One Stop Shopping Centre, Birmingham, arguing the rateable values were too high and proposing reductions to £63,000 and £82,500 respectively based on an unadjusted rate of £98/m² rather than the VO's £140/m². The tribunal found that while the subject properties' actual rents were not helpful (being renegotiated post-administration rents), the appellant's comparable evidence was either too remote from the antecedent valuation date, significantly different in size, or used for dissimilar trades (food shops with specific user clauses); the tribunal preferred the VO's comparable evidence and dismissed the appeal, confirming the rateable values were reasonable and proportionate to the market.
