What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants sought a reduction in RV to reflect a lower tone of £440 per m2, arguing the office market had declined between the 2017 and 2023 lists. The Tribunal found the present unadjusted prices of £465 and £475 per m2 were reasonable based on rental evidence analysed at £511–£588 per m2. The Tribunal rejected the appellants' adjustments for landlord's repairs as the leases were effectively FRI with costs recovered by service charge, and found no support for the proposed £50 per m2 Cat A uplift.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Airplus International, represented.
