From the tribunal's valuation
In coming to its decision, the Tribunal had regard to the evidence supplied by the parties and the members' own general knowledge of market rent levels in east Hertfordshire. … The Tribunal finds that the comparables provided by both the landlord and the tenant are of a higher standard than the subject property. The best comparable is a three double bedroom detached house within the village where the asking rent is £1,300 per month. However, the house which is closer to the facilities in the centre of the village is in the condition usual for an open market letting a and appears to be in good condition. … In determining the rental value of the bungalow the Tribunal has taken into account all the factors in respect of the location, structural condition, disrepair, the quality of fittings, lack of white goods, floor and window coverings and the terms of the tenancy.
