From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal is unable to take into account the landlord’s personal circumstances when determining the rental value of the subject property. … In coming to its decision, the Tribunal took into account the market evidence supplied by the landlord and tenant. The Tribunal determines that the new build flats in Troy Court do not provide reliable rental evidence of the value of this semi-detached bungalow. … The best comparable was the bungalow in Southwold Crescent: it was within close proximity to the subject property and provided similar accommodation. However, it had the benefit of not being on the main road and had a garage. … The Tribunal concluded that the rent at which the property might reasonably be expected to be let on the open market would be £1175 per month.
