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, 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 also carefully considered the comments made by the parties in the hearing and had regard to the evidence submitted by the Tenant and opinions of the Landlord. The Tribunal also had regard to the location, accommodation, and condition of the Property in relation to the evidence it considered. … No deductions were made for the other issues identified by the Tenants as these were considered minor by the Tribunal and were not considered significant as to affect the rental value of the Property. Taking all factors into consideration, the Tribunal was satisfied and concluded that the likely market rental would be £900 per month. …
