From the tribunal's valuation
I have relied on the comparable evidence provided by the parties and my own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area. I have taken into account that the rents passing on converted flats were lower than those for purpose built units. Recently refurbished flats also commanded a higher rent. … I am of the opinion that the open market rent of similar sized properties is £1250 per month. However, I determine that the rental value of this property in its current condition, reflecting the inconvenient layout which reduces the utility of one of the bedrooms and the lack of cooking facilities in the kitchen is £1100 per month.
