What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction to £98,000 arguing that comparable properties and a connected party rent of £98,000 per annum (£64.96/m2) supported a lower valuation of £65/m2. The tribunal found the Valuation Officer's evidence more persuasive, relying on three comparable properties on the same business park (Units 4, 7, and 13) with rents agreed close to or prior to the antecedent valuation date, supporting a valuation at £135,000 (approximately £90/m2). The tribunal determined the appellant had insufficient evidence to satisfy the burden of proof for a reduction.
