What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the transitional certificate value of £350,000 as at 31 March 2017, arguing it should be reduced to £250,000 to reflect the unit price reduction agreed in the 2017 compiled list challenge (from £12.50/m² and £16.25/m² to £10/m²). The tribunal found that comparable properties (19 Bedesway and Filtrona) supported an unadjusted rate of £10/m² across both the 2010 and 2017 rating lists, and that there was no evidence to justify applying a different rate to the transitional certificate. The tribunal allowed the appeal and reduced the certified value to £250,000.
