What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £76,500 (Zone A rate £395 psm), proposing £40,750 (£200 psm). The Valuation Officer reduced it to £54,500 (£275 psm). The tribunal found the appellant's proposed rate of £200 psm was out of kilter with comparable properties in the same shopping centre, particularly properties at 33 Pound Way (£468.75 psm) and 35 Pound Way (£196 psm), which bracketed the antecedent valuation date. Given the subject property's significantly larger size (783 m²) compared to comparables and existing layout allowance, the tribunal adopted £275 psm as reasonable, dismissing the appeal.
