From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal determines a market rent for a property by reference to rental values generally and to the rental values for comparable properties in the locality in particular. The Tribunal does not take into account the present rent and the period of time which that rent has been charged nor does it take into account the percentage increase which the proposed rent represents to the existing rent. … In addition, the legislation makes it clear that the Tribunal cannot take into account the personal circumstances of either the Landlord or the Tenant. Therefore, the Tribunal did not take into account the health of the Tenant’s son. … The Tribunal assessed a rent based on the condition of the Property as at the time of the inspection. Therefore, it did not take into account that the current landlord had only recently purchased the Property or that it was intended to carry out works in the future. … The Tribunal is only concerned with assessing a rent for the Property therefore it does not take into account the service of a Notice under section 21 Housing Act 1988. … The Tribunal considered the rental values submitted by the parties. With regard to the rents which the tenant said were paid by the tenants of 101 and 72 the Tribunal found there to be insufficient detail with regard to the type of letting or the condition of the property for them to be relied upon. …
