What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants (two office companies) sought reductions in rateable value for ground and second floor offices at 252 Bath Road, Slough, arguing for a tone of £225/m² versus the adopted £275/m². The tribunal preferred the Valuation Officer's rental analysis, particularly regarding treatment of a £400,000 fit-out cost disclosed in the Form of Return. Although the appellants cited a Maidenhead comparable property and disputed the treatment of lease incentives, the tribunal found insufficient evidence to justify departure from the original values and dismissed both appeals.
