From the tribunal's valuation
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 reasonable condition would be in the order of £1,000pcm. 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 Property, unfurnished and with curtains provided by the Landlord. … The Tribunal notes that 42 and 89 Ryswick Road are comparable properties in close proximity to the subject Property, with 89 Ryswick Road having the additional benefit of a rear garden and being let at a higher rent of £1,125.00pcm. The Tribunal has not made any adjustments for the condition of the Property and did not have photographic evidence of the interior of the comparable properties. … As set out above, the Tribunal relies upon its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area and is not bound by online market valuation tools, which are less persuasive as they do not set out how rental values are compiled on a property-by-property basis.
