From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal determines a market rent for a property by reference to rental values generally and to the rental values for comparable properties in the locality in particular. The Tribunal does not take into account the present rent and the period of time which that rent has been charged nor does it take into account the percentage increase which the proposed rent represents to the existing rent. The Tribunal cannot take into account the personal circumstances of either the Landlord or the Tenant. … The Tribunal assessed a rent based on the condition of the Property as at the time of the determination. Therefore, it cannot take into account the period of time which a property might have been in disrepair prior to work being carried out by the Landlord. Equally, it cannot take into account work which the Landlord said it intended to undertake or was scheduled to take place in the future. … The Tribunal firstly considered the comparable evidence adduced by the Landlord’s Agent. It was found that properties in Heelands achieved a lower rent than houses in some of the surrounding areas. The Tribunal was of the opinion that if the Property were in good condition with modern up dated kitchen and bathroom and with floorcoverings and white goods it would achieve in the region of £1,000 to £1,100 per calendar month. …
