What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants challenged the rateable values of three retail units on the Blackheath high street, seeking a Zone A price of £610 per m2 instead of the adopted £830 per m2. The tribunal found that rental evidence from comparable properties, particularly 14 Montpelier Vale at £813.34 per m2 and 22-24 Montpelier Vale at £852.85 per m2, supported the adopted tone. The tribunal rejected reliance on 18 Tranquil Vale (£610.63 per m2) as potentially not an arm's length transaction and concluded that the appellant failed to demonstrate the adopted price was excessive.
