From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal first considered the letting evidence provided by the tenant. The first two comparables appear to be modern construction of similar size and accommodation to the subject property. The third comparable is larger with a garage but an older property. … A significant factor in establishing relevance is proximity of the comparables to the subject property. In each case, the distance of the comparables from the property is found to be 3.8 miles, 6.1 miles and 5.2 miles respectively. The different locations and distances are further than might be considered reasonable in terms of relevance. Accordingly, the Tribunal is unable to place strong reliance on these comparables. … Given this discrepancy, the Tribunal is unable to place reliance on either of these properties. … Accordingly, the two remaining comparables which are considered relevant, have an average rent of £1,267.50 pcm. … The second part of the Landlords evidence is in the letting summary of properties on Jerry Rails Avenue. … Using its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £1,250 pcm which is the same as the rent sought under the Section 13(4)(a) notice. …
