What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £302,500 (£180 per m2) proposing £212,000 (£115 per m2) based on the subject property's new lease at £116 per m2 and comparable rent at Unit 3 (£115 per m2). The tribunal found the subject rent too remote from the antecedent valuation date and Unit 3 significantly larger. Considering rent reviews from other units within the same retail park (ranging £161-£209 per m2) and their respective assessments, the tribunal determined a fair and reasonable price of £165 per m2, resulting in a revised RV of £282,500.
