From the tribunal's valuation
In coming to my decision, I relied on the rental comparable provided by the landlord and my own general knowledge of flats in Luton. The landlord’s comparable was situated in a modern purpose built block. The asking rent of £900 per month is in line with other well appointed flats within modern purpose built blocks. … However, it is not disputed that there are issues with the windows and drainage at the subject property. In my opinion these matters would affect the market value of the flat, particularly as it is on the ground floor. I determine that the open market rent of the property as at 1 November 2023 is £850 per month.
