If this is done we consider that the true test so applied is not a true one.. . The Valuation of Land' Acts speak of the sum which the property might be expected to realise if offered for sale, and not of the sum at which the owner is prepared to sell it. The property may be the objector's home, and he might well not he prepared to sell it at even what he considers an excessive valuation.
