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. It 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. In addition, the legislation makes it clear that the Tribunal cannot take into account the personal circumstances of either the landlord or the tenant. … The Tribunal assesses a rent for the Property as it is on the day of the hearing disregarding any improvements made by the tenant but taking into account the impact on rental value of disrepair (if any) which is not due to a failure of the tenant to comply with the terms of the tenancy. … What has been provided however are asking rents, but the tribunal also has little regard to the tenants claim as to what rents they actually achieved, given they provided no evidence and in the absence of this the claimed rents seems very low. … It has also had lesser regard to properties 1,7 8 and 9 which all differ somewhat from the subject property but provided useful additions to the basket of larger individual detached properties in the area with good sized gardens and some character. …
