LISTEN: Roger Cohen, partner at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner, returns to the EG studio to discuss the Supreme Court ruling in Hewitt (VO) v Telereal Trillium [2019] UKSC 23; [2019] PLSCS 90 – where a Blackpool office block that has been empty for a decade was found nevertheless to have a rateable value of £370,000.
Cohen explains the Supreme Court judgment and the importance of “general demand” when it comes to calculating rateable value – as well as considering the implications of the decision for property owners.
