From the tribunal's valuation
The assessment of Market Rent assumes that the Property is vacant and to let on the open market such that prospective tenants would bid against each other with the bid of the successful tenant comprising the Market Rent. The characteristics and motivations of the actual Landlord and Tenant are therefore not relevant. … It is assumed that fair wear and tear has arisen, but the Tenant has otherwise complied with their lease covenants in respect of the maintenance of the Property. In this regard, it would be expected that, due to the passage of time since occupation had first been taken by the Tenant, an element of redecoration would be required in order for the Property to be in a condition commensurate with other properties that are available on the market and would therefore offer the market an alternative to the Property. … The Tribunal has noted that the comparables provided by the Landlord predominantly relate to semi-detached rather than terraced houses hence a discount from those rents would be appropriate. Conversely, the Tribunal considers that the Property is superior to those cited by the Tenant such that a premium over those quoted rents would apply. …
