From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal first considered whether it felt able to reasonably and fairly decide this case based on the papers submitted only with no oral hearing. Having read and considered the papers it decided that it could do so. … The Tribunal is required to determine the rent at which the subject property might reasonably be expected to be let in the open market by a willing Landlord under an assured tenancy. The personal circumstances of the Parties, nor historic repair issues, are not relevant to this issue. … The Tribunal therefore values the property on the basis that windows are double glazed. … Accordingly, the Tribunal values the property on the basis that the Tenant provides any carpets or blinds. … Having carefully considered the representations from the parties and associated correspondence and using its own judgement and knowledge of rental values in Milton Keynes, the Tribunal decided that the market rent for the subject property if let today in a condition that was usual for such an open market CAM/00MG/MNR/2025/0630 letting would be £1,200 per month. Such a letting would normally include the provision of a cooker, washing machine, fridge, carpets and curtains. This figure is based on comparable rents in the same immediate area thereby taking account of a nuisance from noise on some nights. …
