From the tribunal's valuation
Having carefully considered all the evidence the Tribunal considers that the rent that would be achieved in good condition with reasonably modern kitchen and bathroom fittings, modern services, carpets, curtains and white goods supplied by the landlord would be £1,675 per month. This figure is based upon the comparable evidence provided by the landlord and the Tribunal’s professional judgement and experience in the Exeter area. This rental value is inclusive of £25 for a pet and the provision of broadband. … The average rent for rental properties in the Exeter area has increased every quarter since the end of 2019, according to the online property portal Rightmove. The rent increases are due to not enough properties coming to the market to meet demand and the number of homes for rent is 46% below 2019 levels. This puts this decision in context with the current rental market. … The Tribunal has not been provided with a copy of the tenancy agreement, However it is assumed the agreement incorporates the usual repair obligations. … The Tribunal received no evidence of hardship and, therefore, the rent determined by the tribunal is to take effect from 1st January 2024.
