What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of £123,000 (based on £550 per m2), proposing £86,500 (£425 per m2). The Valuation Officer reduced it to £104,000 (£465 per m2). The tribunal found that a preceding tribunal decision on a comparable property in the same building had determined £450 per m2 was reasonable, and applied this precedent to the subject property as the evidence and submissions were identical.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Fresson & Tee Ltd, represented.
