Conrath v Martin (VO)
- 1991
- Rating & Valuation Reporter (1991) 31 RVR 100-101(2) .
LT 20 March 1991. The offices are in an area in which a series of major redevelopment and pedestrianisation works have taken place almost continuously since 1984. These works adversely affected the rental value of property in the vicinity, acknowledged by reductions in the rating assessment ranging from 5% to 30%. The ratepayer C held that during the period the property was unlettable although he had entered into the lease while the works were in progress. C claimed this was because he already occupied some of the property. C claimed that while the works were in progress it had been virtually impossible to trade from the property. C contended a reduction of 20%. LT held that there should be a reduction of 25% as although the property as badly affected C had been willing to lease the property himself.
