From the tribunal's valuation
Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, the Tribunal considers that the majority of achieved rentals appear to be in the order of £400.00 to £585.00 pcm for house shares or single person accommodation although many of these appear to include “bills” – ie utility charges. Therefore, the Tribunal adopts, as a starting point, the rental of £480.00 pcm for the Property. … From this level of rent, a deduction has been made in relation to the damp issue that is evident in the Property which in the opinion of the Tribunal is serious such that it would prevent the Property being offered in the open market in its current condition.
