What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of a warehouse in Swindon, seeking a reduction from £139,000 to £115,000 based on a lower tone of £55/m2. The tribunal considered rental evidence for the subject property and comparable units at Ignition industrial park, as well as the parties' different approaches to analysing the rents. The tribunal found the Valuation Officer's comparable evidence and £65/m2 tone to be more persuasive, particularly Units 1 and 3 which were similar in size to the subject property, and dismissed the appeal.
