From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal considered all the information provided by the parties. … No party is prejudiced by the Tribunal taking these documents into account in its determination. … In its consideration, the Tribunal took into account that over the course of the lengthy tenancy, the Landlord had conducted maintenance and repairs. The photographs provided by the Tenant indicated that the interior of the property was tired and, for example, the lounge ceiling wallpaper was peeling in a number of places. … The Tribunal considered the comparables provided by the Landlord. It regarded the property in Eyres Way as being the closest to the subject property, but noted that it included an allocated parking space and was in a different area. … Relying on its own expertise and general knowledge of rental values in the area, the Tribunal considers that the market rent of the subject Property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £1,000 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. … The Tribunal noted that, by section 14ZB(5), Housing Act 1988, the new rent amount is the open market rent, if lower than the proposed rent, and otherwise, the proposed rent. … In this case, the Tribunal has set the open market rent above the proposed rent. …
