What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged an RV of £36,250 (£400/m²) on a retail warehouse, arguing for £18,250 (£200/m²). The tribunal found the appellant's comparable property evidence from the West Midlands, derived from actual leases close to the antecedent valuation date, more persuasive than the VO's limited comparables from Fort Shopping Centre. The tribunal noted the VO had not demonstrated that a £400/m² tone applied consistently to all properties under 100m² and found that percentage decreases in comparable properties between rating lists supported a lower tone. The tribunal allowed the appeal, finding the current assessment unreasonable and adopting a tone of £200/m².
