What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought deletion of a multi-floor office assessment on the basis that the property was incapable of beneficial occupation due to extensive works being undertaken (all lighting, floor coverings, small power, data/telecoms, partitioning, and kitchenettes removed) and that the works constituted redevelopment rather than repairs. The Valuation Officer contended the property remained a hereditament and the works were merely repairs. The tribunal found that the property had been stripped out on the material day and was incapable of beneficial occupation, as the works were not repair works following a tenancy but rather redevelopment works to enable splitting into three new hereditaments. The tribunal ordered deletion of the single assessment with effect from 5 June 2023, and consequently the two subsequently-created individual floor assessments with effect from 10 February 2025.
