 Valuation Tribunal - rates valuation appeals nationwide
He put forward the argument that Quinnsworth the subject hereditament is in a better location and a more established trading area than the Superquinn location which had to be designated to attract occupiers.
He stated that one of his main points was that Quinnsworth, the subject hereditament, and Superquinn are both similarly affected regarding the main shopping area.
That being the case we are satisfied that in the particular circumstances of this case designation does not materially affect the establishment of the required N.A.V. In the light of the above considerations the Tribunal therefore affirms the valuation of the Commissioner of Valuation and determines that the R.V. of the subject premises is £1,100.
