What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued the office element of the property should be valued at £40.80/m² in line with neighbouring industrial properties rather than £70/m² applied by the Valuation Officer, seeking a reduction from £40,000 to £15,000. The tribunal found the property was purpose-built as an office with associated warehousing and should be valued as such, not as an industrial unit. The tribunal adopted the VO's revised assessment of £70/m² as fair and reasonable, confirming the RV at £31,750 with effect from 1 April 2017, thus dismissing the appeal.
