From the tribunal's valuation
In coming to my decision, I relied on the comparables provided by both the landlord and the tenant together with my own general knowledge of rents on Canvey Island. The landlord’s comparables included several semi detached houses and one detached bungalow; the bungalow did not provide reliable comparable evidence. Most were some distant from the subject; only the end terraced house in Norfolk Way, a traditional street with on street parking, was on the same estate albeit at the opposite end of the estate: the asking rent was £1350 per month, there were gardens to the front, side and rear. … The tenant’s comparables at £950 per month were all located nearby. … I concluded that the rent at which the property might reasonably be expected to be let on the open market in its current condition would be £1050 per month to reflect its location accessed off a pedestrian walkway, the compact layout, lack of parking outside the property and that the tenant had provided the white goods.
