What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought deletion from the rating list, arguing the property was unlettable due to its state of disrepair following vacancy in March 2020 and the impact of Covid lockdown making repairs uneconomic. The tribunal found that the repair works listed (totalling £11,535) were not uneconomic under the statutory assumptions and that the property was not rendered unlettable by its condition. The appeal was dismissed because the legislation requires hereditaments to be assumed in a state of reasonable repair for valuation purposes.
