What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants challenged the rateable values of two warehouse properties near Heathrow Airport, initially at £950,000 and £1,860,000 based on £130 psm, proposing £725,000 and £1,370,000 at £100 psm. The Tribunal considered rental evidence from comparable properties at Heathrow Logistics Park, Skyline Business Park, and other nearby warehouses, along with previous tribunal decisions on the same business park. The Tribunal determined that an unadjusted base rate of £110 psm was reasonable, less than the original £130 psm but more than the appellants' proposed £100 psm, resulting in RVs of £795,000 and £1,500,000. The appeals were therefore allowed in part.
