What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the £81,500 RV (£36/m2) seeking a reduction to £62,000 (£27.50/m2) based on the appeal property's nil-increase rent review of £58,950 per annum (£25.98/m2). The tribunal found the appeal property's rent was agreed seven months prior to the antecedent valuation date and was not an open market rent, reducing its persuasiveness. The tribunal accepted comparable rental evidence from similar local properties (Units 8 and 9 Nat Lane Business Park at £36.51/m2, Units 1 and 15 Premier Park at £36.07/m2, and Unit 6 Smokehall Lane at £50.86/m2) which supported the £36/m2 valuation, and dismissed the appeal.
