From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal first considered whether it felt able to reasonably and fairly decide this case based on the papers submitted only with no oral hearing. Having read and considered the papers it decided that it could do so. … 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 CHI/00HE/MNR/2023/0252 under an assured tenancy. The personal circumstances of the Parties are not relevant to this issue and the Tribunal makes it clear that an increase in mortgage payments made by a landlord do not in themselves justify an increase in rent. … Having carefully considered the representations from the parties and associated correspondence and using its own judgement and knowledge of rental values in Helston and surrounding villages, including properties advertised to rent in the general area, 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 £1,150 per month. … For such an open market letting it is usual for a landlord to include floorings, curtains, fridge, washing machine and cooker. In this case only a cooker is provided so an adjustment to the rent is necessary to reflect this. …
