From the tribunal's valuation
In the first instance, the Tribunal determined what rent the landlord could reasonably be expected to obtain for the Property if it were let today in the condition that is considered usual for such an open market letting. … The Tribunal had particular regard to the Property’s location, accommodation and specification in relation to the evidence adduced by the parties. … Taking all factors into consideration, the Tribunal concluded that the likely market rental would be £310 per week. … However, to allow for the Property’s smaller sized third bedroom, limited parking arrangements, general condition and the need to modernise the kitchen and bathroom as well as the lack of double glazing the Tribunal made a deduction of £60 per week. … A further deduction of £55.00 per week was then made to allow for the Tenant’s fittings (floor coverings and white goods and other minor additions) and to reflect the Tenant’s liability for decoration. … The rent determined by the Tribunal for the purposes of Section 14 was, therefore, £195.00 per week with effect from 19 October 2020.
