What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the 2023 list entry of £155,000 based on an unadjusted base rate of £65 psm, arguing it was unreasonable and proposing £137,000 at £57.50 psm. The tribunal placed significant weight on 176 Camford Way, a highly comparable property (same site, built same time, similar size) which the VO had analysed at £57 psm, and found the original valuation at £65 psm was unreasonable. The appeal was allowed and the RV determined at £137,000 (£57.50 psm).
