From the tribunal's valuation
In coming to its decision, I had regard to the evidence supplied by both the landlord and the tenant. The comparables were mainly superior in terms of modernisation to the subject premises and generally benefited from white goods, floor coverings and blinds or curtains. The comparables were all in good repair, including some which were newly refurbished. Those at the higher end of the range had ensuites to the main bedroom and ground floor cloakrooms. … The Tribunal concluded that the rent at which the property might reasonably be expected to be let on the open market would be £1200 per month if it were in the condition usually found in open market lettings. However, this house requires updating and replacement of the worn floor coverings together with the repair to the leaking roof. The rental value of the house in its current condition is £1000 per month. .
