What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant proposed a reduction from £18,500 to £13,250, citing a dramatic 43.8% increase in valuation with no alterations to the property. The appellant did not attend the hearing and provided no supporting evidence. The tribunal found that the appellant bore the burden of proof and had failed to provide evidence to undermine the Valuation Officer's valuation. The tribunal considered the Valuation Officer's adopted unit value of £23.40/m² to be in line with comparable properties in the locality and dismissed the appeal.
