From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal is required to determine the rent at which the subject property might reasonably be expected to be let in the open market by a willing Landlord under an assured tenancy. The personal circumstances of the Tenant are not relevant to this issue. … Having carefully considered the representations from the parties and associated correspondence and using its own judgement and knowledge of rental values in Bristol the Tribunal decided that the market rent for the subject property if let today in a condition that was usual for such an open market letting would be £895 per month 27. However, the property is not in the condition considered usual for a modern letting at a market rent and a number of adjustments need to be made to reflect this. … The Tribunal decided that a deduction of £10 per month should be made to reflect the Tenant’s provision of a washing machine. There are a CHI/00HB/MNR/2019/0053 number of unsightly areas where the decoration has been damaged by water ingress in the past for which the Tribunal decided that a deduction of £20 per month should be made. … The property is on a busy main shopping street which gives rise to traffic noise and vibration for which the Tribunal decided a deduction of £20 per month should be made. …
