What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the RV from £580,000 to £505,000, arguing that the unadjusted rate of £192/m² was excessive and should be £165/m². The tribunal found the current RV to be reasonable, noting that the rent for the subject property was between connected parties and had remained unchanged for 24 years, making it unreliable evidence. Although the comparable properties presented by both parties showed higher rental analysis rates per m², the tribunal found the current RV neither excessive nor unreasonable when considering the broader basket of comparable car showroom evidence in the locality and dismissed the appeal.
