What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the RV of £106,000 at a base rate of £115 per m² was unreasonable. The tribunal found that whilst there was a consistent tone of £115 per m² within the area for industrial units, when accounting for the subject property's size (1,144 m²) relative to comparable properties and analysis of historical rental evidence (which indicated £102.25 per m² at the antecedent valuation date), a quantum allowance should be applied. The tribunal allowed the appeal and reduced the RV to £94,500 at £102.50 per m² with effect from 1 April 2023.
