What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the rateable value should be reduced from £110,000 to £99,000 (a reduction in the unadjusted rate from £37.85/m2 to £34/m2), relying principally on rental evidence from 19 and 21 New Star Road and comparable properties with lower rates. The tribunal found the appellant's comparables were not persuasive—the 19 and 21 New Star Road rent was an outlier lacking sufficient detail and post-dated the valuation date, while the larger properties and Forward House were not sufficiently comparable. The tribunal found the subject property's own rental evidence and the VO's wider range of comparables supported the current rate of £37.85/m2 as reasonable.
