From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal determines a market rent for a property by reference to rental values generally and to the rental values for comparable properties in the locality in particular. It does not take into account the present rent and the period of time which that rent has been charged nor does it take into account the percentage increase which the proposed rent represents to the existing rent. In addition, the legislation makes it clear that the Tribunal cannot take into account the personal circumstances of either the Landlord or the Tenant. … The Tribunal assesses a rent for the Property as it is on the day of the inspection disregarding any improvements made by the Tenant. … The Tribunal considered the closest comparable was Coach Cottage. The Tribunal used the knowledge and experience of its members and found that if the Property were in the same condition as Coach Cottage then, allowing for its larger size overall and it having three bedrooms it would achieve a rent of £825.00 per calendar month. … In the main bedroom the damp looks to have been remedied by the drylining of the solid brick walls (to which the Tenant paid a modest contribution), probably by improving the insulation of that room. …
