From the tribunal's valuation
In reaching its determination, the Tribunal has had regard to the evidence and submissions of the parties, the relevant law and their own knowledge and experience as an expert Tribunal but not any special or secret knowledge. … 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, as an expert Tribunal, has also used its own general knowledge of market rental levels in the area and from its own research into rental values for similar types of property from the surrounding areas. The Tribunal has also had regard to the location, accommodation, and condition/ disrepair of the Property in relation to the evidence it considered. … At the hearing the Landlord’s agent advised that they had had regard to various property letting websites and their own data base of lettings from the block itself which they have undertaken. They also advised that they understand the Tenant has been in occupation for a considerable period and although they were of the view the market rent is in the order of £700 per month were prepared to accept £650 per month to reflect the Tenant’s longstanding occupation. …
