What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the rateable value from £95,500 to £83,500 by arguing that a price per m² of £140 was more reasonable than the adopted £160 per m², based on rental evidence from 688 Stirling Road and 232 Berwick Avenue. The tribunal preferred the valuation officer's rental evidence from 804 Oxford Avenue (which analysed to over £160 per m²) and 687 Stirling Road (which analysed to just below £160 per m²), finding this compelling evidence that the adopted price per m² was reasonable. The appeal was dismissed and the RV of £95,500 was confirmed.
