From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal 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. … Initially, the Tribunal’s determination considers what rent the Landlord could reasonably be expected to obtain for the Property if it were let today in a condition usual for such lettings. … Taking all factors into account, the Tribunal concluded that the likely market rental would be approximately £600.00 pcm. … However, the Property is not in the same condition as properties offered in the general market; the comparables provided by the Landlords all had a degree of modernisation. … It was notable in the lounge that there was a degree of movement to the (presumably) suspended timber. … The Property appears to be suffering from a degree of subsidence. This may be due to the fact that the property is situated in a former mining area. … This was not identified to any degree during the Tribunal’s inspection of the Property. … Several doors did not close properly, and some hinges were loose. The ill-fitting doors may be linked to the subsidence issue. i) No fire doors. … To adjust the comparables provided by the Landlord for their improved/refurbished condition, the Tribunal makes an adjustment of £20.00 pcm. …
