From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal first considered whether it felt able to reasonably and fairly decide this case based on the papers submitted and an oral hearing but no inspection. Having read and considered the papers including a recent condition report from the Landlord’s Agent it decided that it could do so. … The Tribunal accepted the evidence from the Landlord’s Agent that those similar properties in the area had been let recently at £2,000 pcm. … The Tribunal is required to determine the rent at which the subject property might reasonably be expected to be let in the open market by a willing Landlord under an assured tenancy. The personal circumstances of the Parties are not relevant to this issue. … Having carefully considered the representations from the parties and associated correspondence and using its own judgement and knowledge of rental values in Waltham Cross the Tribunal decided that the market rent for the subject property, if let today in a condition that was usual for such an open market letting, would be £2,000 per month. … The Tribunal noted that the Tenant had carried out some redecoration at the beginning of the tenancy but determined that this did not constitute an improvement that would merit a deduction from the full open market rent. …
