What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of £54,500 based on the unadjusted rate (UAR) of £34.00/m2 being excessive. The tribunal found that the subject property's rent at £35,000 per annum (analysing to approximately £20-21/m2) and comparable rental evidence, particularly from Unit 2D Masonry Trading Estate at £29.94/m2, demonstrated that the current rate was unreasonably high. The tribunal determined that a UAR of £27.50/m2 was appropriate and reduced the rateable value to £44,000, with effect from 1 April 2023.
