What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants challenged rateable values of £285,000 and £497,500 for two office floors at Burlington Gardens, Mayfair, seeking reductions based on an unadjusted rate of £850/m² versus the listed £1,000/m². The tribunal found that comparable rental evidence, particularly from nearby 28 Savile Row where the Valuation Officer had agreed a tone of £875/m², supported a reduction. The tribunal adopted an unadjusted rate of £875/m² as most accurately reflecting rental value at the antecedent valuation date, rejecting the appellants' unsupported claim for a further reduction due to the ground floor restaurant.
