From the tribunal's valuation
Walcot Street is a busier thoroughfare than Bennett Street and the subject and adjacent buildings are in mixed-use. The subject property is above commercial premises. Turning to the landlord’s expenditure on ‘improvements’, the Tribunal determines the works listed are not improvements for the purposes of the legislation, but day to day repairs and maintenance that are the landlord’s responsibility in any event. j) The information given by the parties with respect to the provision or otherwise of carpets and curtains and by whom is unclear. Nevertheless, from the information and the photographs provided the Tribunal has concluded an adjustment is required to reflect the fact the landlord has not conclusively confirmed he has provided the same, in toto. k) Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided by the Landlord referred to, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject Property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £1,400.00 pcm.
