From the tribunal's valuation
Having regard to the high standard of the Property and its close proximity to Watford town centre and the excellent train links including into the centre of London, and relying on it’s expert general knowledge of rental valleys in the area, and the comparables provided by both parties, the Tribunal considers that the market rental value of the subject Property would be in the order of £2,350 pcm. This is the rent we would expect the Property to let for in the open market in its current condition and with the advertised amenities. … The Tribunal has considered the possibility of a nearby development impeding on the value however there is no evidence that this has commenced or will commence in the period for which any new rent will be applicable. In any event, the Tribunal does not accept that there is sufficient evidence to demonstrate an impact on the Property and rental values given that any construction works will be by their nature temporary. … The Tribunal has noted the Landlord’s evidence that appears to show that the subject Property is the lower in price of six properties being let that are 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom. However, this has limited assistance as these are all properties belonging to the same Landlord. …
