What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the 2023 rating list entry of £440,000 RV, proposing £402,500 based on a reduced valuation rate of £730/m² instead of £800/m². The tribunal agreed with comparable rent evidence from two fourth-floor properties in the same building, notably JCAM Investments which showed £732.13/m² only three months before the antecedent valuation date. The tribunal found the original tone of £800/m² was too high and allowed the appeal, reducing the RV to £402,500 with effect from 1 April 2023.
