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 are not relevant to this issue. … Having carefully considered the representations from the parties and associated correspondence and using its own judgement and knowledge of rental values in Cambridge, 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 letting would be £1,500 per month 23. Such an open market letting would be for a tenantable property in good order with the Landlord responsible for internal decoration and on the basis that carpets, curtains and white goods would all be provided by the Landlord. … From the submissions made the Tribunal concluded that the property could not be described as good throughout and that an adjustment of £50 per month should be made to reflect the property’s condition. …
