What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant contended that the adopted price of £400 per m2 was excessive, proposing £385 per m2 based on rental evidence from the subject property itself (Ground Floor at £385 per m2 from a new lease of November 2011, and 4th Floor at £385 per m2 from a lease renewal of August 2021 with adjustments) and comparable assessments on Great Suffolk Street showing lower price per m2. The Valuation Officer defended £400 per m2 with reference to various rental evidence. The tribunal found that the most relevant evidence came from rental analysis within the subject hereditament itself at £385 per m2, determining that the present price of £400 per m2 was unreasonable and allowing the appeals.
