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. … As neither party provided evidence of rent form comparable properties the Tribunal used the knowledge and experience of its members. The Tribunal found that modern one and two bedroom flats in and around Huntingdon achieved rents of between £525.00 and £825.00 per calendar month. Those that achieved higher rents are modern purpose-built self-contained flats and maisonettes in good condition with double glazing and central heating. They have a modern kitchen and bathroom, parking and gardens. Flats at the lower end lack one or more of the features of those that command a higher rent. They tend to be older and some are converted from larger properties. Although with modern facilities they may be on the small side. … The Tribunal applied this information to assess the rent for the Property. …
