From the tribunal's valuation
In coming to my decision, I relied on the comparables provided by the landlord and tenant and my own general knowledge of rents in Chigwell. The information apparently provided by a local agent was not supported by any documentation or other evidence. The asking rents of both the landlord’s and tenants’ comparables supported £1400 per month for a two double bedroom house closer to the underground station than the subject premises. … I concluded that the rent at which this property might reasonably be expected to be let on the open market as at 5 February 2023 was £1350 per month.
