What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of £57,000 (£90 per m²) for a warehouse unit in Milton Keynes, proposing £51,000 (£80 per m²) based on rental evidence and comparable assessments. The tribunal found that the closest comparable properties in similar size range (500-1,000 m²) supported the adopted price of £90 per m², including 5 Thornton Chase at £90.47 per m² effective close to the antecedent valuation date, and that the appellant had failed to demonstrate the figure was excessive. The appeal was dismissed and the rateable value confirmed.
