From the tribunal's valuation
In reaching its determination, the Tribunal 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 considered all the evidence submitted by Landlord and Tenant as well as had regard to it own visual inspection and findings. The Tribunal used its own general knowledge of market rental levels in the area and had regard to its own research into rental values for similar types of property from the surrounding areas. The Tribunal also had regard to the character of the Property as well as the location, accommodation and condition of the Property in arriving at its valuation of the Property after making some deductions for the disrepairs referred to by the Tenant. … Taking all these factors into consideration, the Tribunal was satisfied and concluded that the likely market rental of the Property would be no more than £575 per month after making various deductions for the areas of disrepair that were apparent from the inspection. … The rent determined by the Tribunal for the purposes of Section 14 was, therefore, £575 per month. …
