From the tribunal's valuation
Having carefully considered all the evidence from the Landlord and the Tenant the Tribunal considers that the rent that would be achieved in a good marketable condition with reasonably modern kitchen and bathroom fittings, modern services, carpets, curtains and white goods supplied by the Landlord would be £1,700 per month. This figure is based upon the comparable evidence provided by the parties and the Tribunal’s professional judgement and experience. 11 The Tribunal now needs to adjust this figure to allow for the internal condition with evidence of mould to the property, no white goods and defective double-glazed windows which require replacement. The Tribunal has considered very carefully the tenant’s submissions and using its own expertise, concluded that a deduction of £200 should be applied. This reduces the rental figure to £1,500 per month. It should be noted that this figure cannot be a simple arithmetical calculation and is not based upon capital costs but is the Tribunal’s estimate of the amount by which the rent would need to be reduced to attract a tenant. 12 The average rent for rental properties in the Gravesend area has increased every quarter since the end of 2019, according to the online property portal Rightmove. …
