What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants argued that the rateable value should be reduced from £12,000 to £6,000, claiming the bed space valuation method was flawed and that the rating system penalised property improvements. The Valuation Officer maintained the value of £9,600 based on the established practice of valuing self-catering properties with 4 units or fewer using a price per bed space method. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the appellants had not adduced sufficient evidence to undermine the Valuation Officer's valuation and that the established valuation method had been properly applied.
