From the tribunal's valuation
The Landlord has sent marketing information for some 6 properties in an effort to show the market rent. However, we have been unable to accept any of these as comparable properties. All of them are 3 bedroom properties, whereas our finding is that the subject property is a 2 bedroom property. … Further, many of them have facilities that are not present at the subject property such as off street parking. They all also seem in good condition, unlike the subject property, which would need to be repaired and refurbished if it were to be let at such a rent, and the exact sums agreed by the tenants is not clear, given that these are adverts rather than leases or other evidence of concluded transactions. … In all the circumstances, and having consideration of the comparable evidence proved by the parties and of our own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, we consider that the open market rent for the property in its current condition would be in the region of £1350 per month.
