What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the RV of £97,500, arguing that a 20% uplift for 1971 refurbishment works should be removed as they constituted repairs rather than improvements, and proposed a reduced RV of £84,500. The tribunal found the reroofing and recladding works in 1971 were improvements (not mere repairs) that enhanced the property's quality and utility. The tribunal determined that comparable properties supported a 20% uplift (resulting in £30.60/m²), which fell within the appropriate range for similar industrial buildings. The appeal was dismissed as the appellant failed to discharge the burden of proving the existing assessment was unreasonable.
