From the tribunal's valuation
In coming to my decision, I took into account the rental comparables provided by the tenant. I viewed the Northstowe developments via streetview and where available looked online at the comparables to which I had been referred. … The comparables appeared to be either traditional two storey houses or full height three storeys. … The best comparables were in Northstowe. The asking rent of £1,700 per month was close to the asking rents for the brand new four bedroomed houses which appeared to be of higher specification than the subject property. … I determined that the open market rent of the property as at 6 January 2024 is £1,550 per month to reflect the size of the living accommodation and lack of integral white goods which are a feature of the brand new properties.
