What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant (a company) challenged the rateable value of second-floor office accommodation in a converted Victorian building located on a busy Camden Road high street. The tenant's licence included service charges and business rates. The appellant's surveyor adjusted the passing rent to isolate the net rent attributable to the property, applying proper deductions for business rates and service charges, and provided comparable evidence from similar period-converted office buildings and settlement agreements. The tribunal found the appellant's evidence more persuasive than the VO's limited comparable properties, which lacked supporting rental evidence and detailed information. The tribunal determined that a tone of £225/m² (rather than the original £399/m²) was reasonable, reducing the RV from £15,500 to £8,800 effective 1 April 2023, applying the Lotus & Delta v Culverwell framework.
