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 or the period of time for 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 only has jurisdiction to determine the rent. The Tribunal cannot take into account the personal circumstances of either a tenant or landlord. Therefore, the Tribunal cannot consider either the affordability of the rent for a particular tenant nor whether the rent reflects a rise in interest rates and its effect on an individual landlord’s mortgage repayments. … Neither party submitted evidence of the rental values of properties comparable to the Property. The Tribunal therefore applied the knowledge and experience of its members to determine a market rent for the Property considering rental values for comparable properties in the locality in particular. Taking into account its location, age, condition and state of repair the Tribunal determined a rent of £950.00 per calendar month. … Therefore, the Tribunal determined that a market rent for the Property in its present condition is £950.00 per calendar month to take effect from 6th November 2024.
