What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the Valuation Officer's valuation of £82.50 per m² was excessive and should be reduced to £70 per m² based on the rent passing on the subject property (£69.57 per m²) and comparable rental evidence. The tribunal accepted that the rent passing on the subject property was the best evidence and, having considered other comparable rents ranging from £54.04 to £69.57 per m², found that £82.50 per m² was unreasonable and allowed the appeal, confirming the RV at £25,000.
