From the tribunal's valuation
Relying on my own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, I am of the opinion that the market rental value of the subject Property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £1000 pcm. This is the rent I 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. … I have adjusted the hypothetical rent by £300 to reflect the condition of the property, poor quality kitchen and bathroom fittings and lack of white goods. The open market rent of the subject in its present condition is £700 pcm which is payable with effect from 10 April 2026 in accordance with the effective date in the landlord’s notice. Market rent £700.00 pcm
