From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal has carefully considered the evidence provided by the parties. … The Tribunal is not averse to analysis of sale prices by applying a suitable rate of return in exceptional circumstances, which is a method of valuation that has been applied for at least 45 years. However, it is a method rarely used as it carries less evidential weight than direct rental comparison, especially where the comparable rents cited are for similar types of property in the immediate area to that under consideration. … The Tribunal notes the Landlord's comments in a written submission to the Tribunal accepting that remedial work to the building will potentially cause loss of amenity to the Tenant, and that the Landlord has offered to either reduce the rent for the period of the works or allow the Tenant to break the tenancy without penalty in compensation. … In making this determination, the Tribunal accepts the Landlord's evidence that there are a large number of similar flats in the locality let on similar terms. … Bearing these points in mind and the general level of rents for this type of flat in modern developments in Birmingham city centre, the Tribunal finds that the rent paid of £950.00 pcm which was freely agreed by the Tenant on 1 August 2025 is not excessive, and in line with market rents. …
