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 £101 per m2, later revised to £118 per m2. The tribunal found that the respondent's adopted tone of £140 per m2 was fair, reasonable and properly supported by rental evidence on the same estate proximate to the antecedent valuation date. The tribunal attached significant weight to Unit 7, a new letting at £172.31 per m2 near the AVD, and to a broader basket of evidence from other units on the estate showing consistent rental tone, dismissing the appellants' comparables analysis as less reliable.
