What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants challenged the rateable value of two office floors in Burlington Gardens, Mayfair, seeking reductions from £1,000/m² to £850/m² unadjusted rate, arguing the offices were disadvantaged by having a ground-floor restaurant below. The tribunal found the existing assessment of £1,000/m² excessive and adopted £875/m² based on persuasive comparable evidence from 28 Savile Row (nearby offices where the Valuation Officer had agreed to £875/m²) and rental evidence from leases granted close to the antecedent valuation date. The tribunal rejected the further reduction to £850/m² as unsupported by valuation evidence. The appeals were allowed with the tribunal determining revised rateable values of £249,000 (4th Floor East) and £437,000 (6th Floor).
