From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal first considered the tenants’ submission that the Notice of Increase was invalid as the rent had been increased in May 2025. The Tribunal noted that there was no documentation in respect of this increase and that a section 13 Notice had not been served within the previous twelve months. In this matter, The Tribunal agreed with the landlord that the Notice was valid. … However, the third comparable was considered to be relevant as it closely matched the subject property. … 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 good general condition as the comparable property.
