From the tribunal's valuation
In coming to my decision, I took into account the market evidence supplied by the landlord and the tenants. The landlord had described the house as having a garage however the inspection confirmed that there was no garage at the property. … I concluded that the rent at which the property might reasonably be expected to be let on the open market would be of the order of £1,450 per month if it were in the condition of those houses advertised to let on the open market, reflecting the lack of a garage. However, this house is not in that condition and requires significant work to put it in that condition. I concluded that the open market rent as at 17 December 2022 was £900 per month to reflect the condition of the property as noted above.
