What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants challenged the VO's transitional certificate of RV £29,000 for 31 March 2017, arguing for a reduction to £23,700. The tribunal found that the 2018 VTE panel had determined the fair RV should be £29,000 based on FMT of £500,000 at 5.8% (adjusted from 6% to reflect the property's disadvantages including waterlogging, lack of mains utilities, and seasonal operation). The tribunal was satisfied the 2018 VTE panel's valuation was sound and that no persuasive evidence justified changing it, so the appeal was dismissed.
