What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of £89,000, arguing that the 30% quality uplift applied by the Valuation Officer was unjustified when comparing the dialysis unit to similar comparable properties (Pentwyn Renal Unit and Unit 1 Mill Court) which had no such uplift and rents well in excess of their assigned RVs. The tribunal agreed with the appellant's surveyor that the comparable dialysis units, operated in the same manner with expected quality for such use, provided the best evidence and that the Valuation Officer could not support the additional uplift without knowledge of the comparables' settlement details. The tribunal therefore removed the 30% quality uplift and determined the RV at £63,000.
