What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the RV of £490,000 (based on £52 psm), initially proposing £345,000 (£36.50 psm) but revising to £413,750 (£46.00 psm) before the hearing based on the actual passing rent of £465,734.50 per annum. The tribunal found the actual rent of the subject property was the best evidence, including the mezzanine floor in the floor area calculation and accepting the appellant's analysis which incorporated the lease break penalty. The comparable property evidence was given little weight due to significant size differences, and the tribunal determined that the original VO valuation was unreasonable.
