From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal first considered whether it felt able to reasonably and fairly decide this case based on the parties’ representations and submissions as contained in the papers and with no oral hearing. The Tribunal concluded that having read and considered the papers as well as having made its own inspection of the Property, 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. The personal circumstances of the Parties are not relevant to this issue. … Such an open market letting would be for a tenantable property in good order, and on the basis that carpets, curtains, and white goods would all be provided by the Landlord. … In the subject case, the Tribunal concluded that the presence of the late landlord’s belongings at the Property, was a factor limiting the use of the bedroom because a significant amount of space within the bedroom is taken up by their storage. … It is the Tribunal’s view that the Property falls short of that assumed position due to its condition at the date of inspection and the limited use of the third bedroom. …
