From the tribunal's valuation
The rental submissions provided by both the Tenants and the Landlord were generally considered useful. The Tribunal noted that many of the 2-bedroom properties put forward by the Landlord were either in better condition, had a parking space and/or had gas central heating. The photographs provided with the comparables and the subject property were helpful in allowing the Tribunal to assess the nature and condition of the accommodation. … Relying on its own expertise and general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided by both the Tenants and the Landlord, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject Property, modernised, with gas central heating, and in good order, would be in the order of £1,450 pcm. This is the rent we would expect the property to let for in the open market if it was in the same general condition as the comparable properties, including having white goods and curtains provided by the landlord. … From this level of rent, the Tribunal has made adjustments in relation to the following: a. The condition of the Property relative to the comparable properties. b. The fact that the property had electric heating. … The full valuation is shown below: Starting Rent £1,450 pcm Less a) Items given under a) above £50 b) Items given under b) above £50 Subtotal £100 Market rent £1,350 pcm
