What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants argued that the tone of value for main space should be reduced from £140 per m² to £118 per m², relying primarily on comparable rental evidence from Unit 7 Chiltonian Industrial Estate. The tribunal found the appellants' case materially weakened when their representative conceded at the hearing that Unit 7 achieved a higher rent analysis of £172.31 per m², and instead found the respondent's tone of value of £140 per m² was fairly supported by a broader basket of reliable comparable evidence on the same estate, particularly Units 29B & 30 and Units 23, which were analysed at £143.85 and £132.96 per m² respectively and proximate to the antecedent valuation date.
