From the tribunal's valuation
Having given consideration to the comparable evidence provided by the parties and of its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, the Tribunal determines that the open market rent for the property in good tenantable condition would be £1,300 per calendar month. … Such a tenancy would normally include white goods, carpets, curtains/blinds and associated fittings to all be provided by the Landlord. … In this case, the evidence from the parties showed the property has suffered from minor fair “wear and tear” and so was not being let in such good condition. The Tribunal found that beyond fair wear and tear, the evidence showed the property was generally in good condition. The Tribunal noted there was minor damage to parts of the property including to the kitchen and bathroom units, a crack in the ceiling above the shower and a radiator in poor condition. The EPC rating is “E” referring to poor insulation. Accordingly, the Tribunal determined that the ‘open market rent’ should be reduced by £50 per month to reflect the general wants of repair and condition. … The Tribunal therefore decided that the rent at which the subject property might reasonably be expected to be let in the open market by a willing Landlord under the terms of this assured tenancy was £1,250 per month. …
