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 under an assured tenancy. Such rents are normally expressed as a monthly figure. 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 on the Isle of Wight 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 £825 per month. … However, the property is not let on the same basis as an open market assured shorthold tenancy and a number of adjustments need to be made to reflect this.
