From the tribunal's valuation
In coming to my decision, I had regard to the evidence supplied by the tenant and my own general knowledge of market rent levels in the area of Bedford. I have taken into account that the flat is located within a residential street which is a bus route, approximately half a mile from the station and a little under a mile from the town centre. … I determined that if the flat were modernised and in good repair and let on the open market on normal terms and conditions, it would attain a rent of £700 per month. … The defects would affect the rental value of the flat.
