From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal considers the comparables provided by the Landlord are suitable evidence. Whilst the comparable properties are not within the village of the subject property it is acknowledged that recent examples of comparable lettings in Farnborough are unlikely to exist. The comparables provided by the Landlord are suitable as examples of lettings of two bedroom properties in local village locations within the past twelve months. It is noted that comparables (d) and (e) offer superior accommodation and that the higher rents are likely to be a reflection of this. … 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 £1,150 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 provided by the landlord.
