From the tribunal's valuation

Under section 14(1) of the Housing Act 1988 (as amended), the Tribunal is required to determine the rent at which the Property might reasonably be expected to let in the open market by a willing Landlord at the beginning of the new period specified in the Landlord’s notice. Relevant Tenant improvements or failure of the Tenant to comply with the terms of the tenancy are to be disregarded. Historic issues relating to the tenancy or the personal circumstances of the Landlord are not taken into account. The personal circumstances of the Tenant are only considered if an application for hardship has been made. … Relying on its own expertise and general knowledge of rental values in the area, the particular size of the Property and the comparables provided by the Landlord and Tenants, the Tribunal considers that the market rent of the subject Property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £ 875 pcm. This is the rent we would expect the property to let for in the open market at the valuation date and if it was in the same general condition as the comparable properties including having carpets, curtains and basic white goods provided by the landlord.
