GND FLR Ferris Coaches, Cardiff Road, Nantgarw, Cardiff CF15 7SR

What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £30,750 in the 2023 rating list, seeking a value of £14,500 based on comparable local units valued at approximately £31.62/m². The Valuation Officer's analysis relied on rental evidence from distant properties and a settled case at £68/m², supporting a unit value of £43.50/m², which resulted in a conceded RV of £21,750. The tribunal concluded that the VO's adopted unit value of £43.50/m² was fair and reasonable when considering the size, age, modernity and locality of comparable units, and dismissed the appellant's argument for the lower rate, allowing the appeal only in part by confirming the VO's conceded value.
