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. The Tribunal 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 assessed a rent based on the condition of the Property as at the time of the inspection. Therefore, it did not take into account disrepair that had been remedied e.g. the collapse of the ceiling in Bedroom 1 or the past water hammer. that the current landlord had only recently purchased the Property or that it was intended to carry out works in the future. …
