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. … The Tribunal first considered whether it was reasonable and appropriate to decide this matter on the papers provided without an inspection or an oral hearing. The Tribunal decided that it was reasonable and appropriate in this case. … Having carefully considered the representations from the parties and associated correspondence and using its own judgement and knowledge of rental values in North Gloucestershire 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 £775 per month. This considers the lack of any outside space and lack of village amenities. … However the property is not in a condition that is usual for an open market letting and as such some deductions should be made from this figure to reflect its present condition and items not included which would normally be included in such an open market letting. …
