From the tribunal's valuation
These showed rental levels of between £895 and £900 per month. There was no indication that these properties had let at these rents but we considered they were helpful indications of rental level for two bedroomed properties in the Purfleet area. Our own knowledge and experience of rental level in the locality would give general support to these figures. … The respondent provided no comparable evidence but did say, we think as the writing was somewhat unclear, that the rent was last increased in 2018. … The tribunal considered that the property, in good repair and with the amenities required by the market would let at a rent of around £950 per calendar month. There is no indication of disrepair or issues with the Property raised by the applicants. We therefore determine the rent to be £950 per calendar month in the absence of any evidence to justify an increase to the level sought by the respondent. Effective date 13.
