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. … This is a fairly basic property, albeit conveniently situated. It would need significant work before it would match other three bedroomed properties which form the general market. The ground floor bathroom is a clear disadvantage, and it seems very likely that damp will be persistent given the nature of the single storey extension and the flat roof. Some of the damp may be due to the way the property is occupied but the tribunal is not persuaded that gives rises to all the damp issues in the property. …
