What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that comparable properties in the locality supported a reduction to £355,000 and that the 1950s and 1970s built portions should be valued at £12 per m2. The tribunal considered that the tone of value adopted by the VO (£14 per m2 for 1950s, £25 per m2 for 1970s, £35 per m2 for post-2000) was supported by settlement evidence and comparable properties, noting the subject property's mixed-age character and higher repair liability would diminish the value of its more modern elements. The appeal was dismissed as the RV of £477,500 was not excessive.
