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 has used its own general knowledge of market rental levels in local area and from its own research into rental values for similar types of property from the surrounding areas. The Tribunal found similar type properties to let at between £850 to £1000 per month in similar locations, that offered similar sized accommodation. The Tribunal also had regard to the parties statements and evidence given in the Hearing in arriving at its valuation of the Property. … The Tribunal was however considered that the Property was below the standard of the comparables and therefore made adjustments for the various disrepair issues referred to and the fact that the Tenant has provided the white goods and floor coverings. … Taking all these factors into consideration, the Tribunal was satisfied and concluded that the likely market rental would be £750 per month after making the above adjustments. …
