From the tribunal's valuation
In coming to my decision, I took into account the rental comparables provided by the landlord and the tenant. … Several had garages or two parking spaces, the kitchens and bathrooms were more modern, some had been extended. The floor coverings and decorations were superior in all the comparables. … I determined that the open market rent of the property as at 18 December 2023 is £1,300 per month to reflect the older kitchen units, tired decorations, worn carpets, single parking space and overlooking to the rear by a four storey block of flats.
