What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, a fitness centre operator, challenged the RV of £61,500 seeking reduction to £55,000, arguing the rateable value should reflect the market rent of £55,000 and the business's financial circumstances. The tribunal found the Valuation Officer correctly based the valuation on the subject property's rent at £55,000 per annum, which when appropriately adjusted for repairs and insurance obligations analysed at approximately £105/m². The tribunal confirmed a reduced RV of £60,500 reflecting agreed floor area corrections, representing a partial allowance of the appeal.
