From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal has considered the Tenant’s comments and the rental evidence relied upon. The Tenant has referred to comparable properties which are broadly similar in size, accommodation and character to the subject property. While differences in location and other attributes are acknowledged, the Tribunal is satisfied that the evidence provides a reasonable indication of prevailing market rental levels within the locality. … The Tenant has proposed a rent of £1,150 per calendar month, representing an increase of approximately 5% over the preceding twelve-month period. In support of this figure, the Tenant has provided details of three comparable properties advertised at rents between £1,100 and £1,200 per calendar month. In the absence of any alternative comparable evidence from the landlord, the Tribunal considers the proposed rent to be realistic and broadly supported by the available market evidence. … Relying on its own expertise, general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided by the Tenant, 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 including having white goods and curtains provided by the landlord. …
