From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal considered the comparables provided by the Landlord and disregarded the apartment in Albion Street (e) and detached property in Queen Street (f) as neither property was considered comparable. However, the Tribunal determined that the remaining comparables were of similar type properties. The comparable at (a) only had one bedroom and the remaining comparables with two bedrooms were offered at rents ranging from £950.00 - £1,050.00 per month. … The Tribunal then considered the condition of the property and finds that urgent ongoing repairs are necessary as detailed in paragraph 13 above. The Tribunal is of the opinion that the shower cubicle is leaking causing damp and damage to the walls of the en-suite shower room. … 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 £950.00 per month. 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 white goods and curtains provided by the landlord.
