From the tribunal's valuation
In reaching its determination, the Tribunal has 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, meaning evidence that has not been raised with the parties. … 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 used its own general knowledge of market rental levels in the area and from its own research into rental values for similar types of property from the surrounding areas. The Tribunal has, therefore had regard to the location, accommodation and condition of the Property as well as more specifically has the condition of the Property and the fact that the white goods were supplied by the Tenant and that the property was let fully furnished and includes central heating and double glazed windows. … No deductions were made for the other issues identified by the Tenant as these had been attended to by the Landlord beforehand and the other general matters were not considered significant as to affect the rental value of the property. …
