From the tribunal's valuation
We take account of the comparables materials identified, our own inspection of the property and the submissions from the parties. … We determine the market rent of the subject property to be £950 pcm. This is, in our judgment, the rent that might reasonably be expected to be received for the property let on the open market upon the terms of the existing tenancy. … The tenant did not make a hardship application on the papers but, at the conclusion of the hearing, following conclusion of submissions, then suggested he wished to do so. He had no material upon which to base that application. We declined to hear the application given it was raised following closing submissions. … Accordingly, the new rent shall take effect from 10 August 2025.
