What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction from the listed value of £735,000 to £585,000 (£60/m2) on the basis that the valuation tone was unreasonable. The tribunal found that comparable rental evidence and settled assessments showed that a tone of £75/m2 was excessive. The tribunal determined a reasonable value of £640,000 (approximately £65/m2) based on weighing the full basket of rental and assessment evidence, allowing the appeal in part.
