What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £61,500 (applied when the renal unit was split from the hospital assessment on 1 October 2014), arguing it should be £40,800 based on the surgeries, clinics and health centre tone of £1,001/m2 used for comparable properties at Walsall and Hull. The Valuation Officer maintained £1,601/m2 was correct based on cost evidence and comparable assessments. The tribunal accepted the contractor's basis of valuation and noted the appellant's comparables carried limited weight given the settled circumstances differed, but concurred with the VO's revised valuation of £57,500, allowing the appeal in part.
