From the tribunal's valuation
In reaching its determination, the Tribunal has had regard to its findings from its inspection, the evidence and submissions of the parties, the relevant law and its 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 the Bilston area and from its own research into rental values for similar types of property from the surrounding areas found similar type properties to let in region of £1,000 to £1,100 per month. … The Tribunal was satisfied from its inspection and the submissions of the parties that the open market rental value of the property should be £1,100 per month and then made an adjustment for the general condition of the property and the various matters of disrepair including the dated kitchen and bathroom (internal and external cracking, poor fencing and other maintenance items) amounting to £200 per month. … Taking all these factors into consideration, the Tribunal was satisfied and concluded that the market rental would be £900 per month after making the adjustments for the above matters. …
