From the tribunal's valuation
In coming to my decision, I have relied on both the landlord and tenant’s comparable evidence. … The property provides a two double bedroom house with a third small single or study located on the ground floor adjacent to the main entrance door. The first floor rooms are set into the slope of the roof resulting in limited space for wardrobes. The lack of a door to the ensuite in the main bedroom together with limited ventilation within the room make the property less attractive than one with full height ceilings and enclosed bathroom. The garden area is exceptionally small for a family house and has the disadvantage of housing the meter cupboards for all the houses within the development. The dustbins are situated some distance from the house. … I agree that Pinkett Place represents the best comparable however there is only one bathroom on the ground floor, convenient for the third bedroom which is also on the ground floor. The second bedroom is a single room, the subject property has two double bedrooms on the first floor with ensuite bathrooms. … Having taken into account the advantages and disadvantages of the subject property I determined that the open market rent of The Creamery as at 1 June 2024 is £2,200 per month.
