What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the valuation officer's assessment of £19,750 RV, arguing the tone of value for main space should be £55 per m2, based on the subject property's passing rent and comparable rental evidence from the Euroway Estate. The tribunal found the subject rent unreliable due to its stepped nature, but considered the comparable lettings persuasive, particularly Units 12a-12b and Unit 8a at Euroway Estate (at £45 and £52 per m2 respectively) for locality evidence and Units 7 and 5 at South Bradford Trading Estate for size comparability. The tribunal determined a tone of £62 per m2 was fair and reasonable, resulting in an RV of £17,750, allowing the appeal in part.
