What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants challenged the rateable values of two industrial properties on Herald Way, Coventry, arguing for an unadjusted rate of £45/m² instead of the assessed £55/m². The tribunal attached substantial weight to the direct rental evidence from Exmedia Ltd (let at approximately £55/m² close to the valuation date), finding it more reliable than other comparable lettings the appellants relied upon, particularly Central Site Accommodation. The tribunal concluded the existing assessments were reasonable and dismissed the appeals.
