From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal notes that the existing rent of £400.00 per month was fixed at the commencement of the tenancy in 2022. … Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided by the Landlord, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject Property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £1,000.00 pcm. This is the rent we would expect the property to let for in the open market if it was in the same general condition as the comparable properties including having some white goods and some carpets and curtains provided by the landlord.
