What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the Valuation Officer's unadjusted main space price of £170/m2 as excessive for two office properties at The Boulevard, Welwyn Garden City. On the morning of the hearing, the parties reached agreement to reduce the unadjusted main space price to £147.31/m2, which they had reached by reference to the tone applied to a nearby comparable property, Silver Court. The tribunal accepted this agreed valuation and allowed the appeals, reducing RV from £540,000 to £470,000 for the first property.
