From the tribunal's valuation
Having consideration of our own expert general knowledge of rental values in the Brighton area. The Tribunal consider that the open market rent for the property if it were in good marketable condition with reasonably modern kitchen and bathroom, modern services, carpets, curtains and white goods supplied by the landlord would be £1,200 per month. … From this level of rent we have made adjustments in relation to: the damp and mould to the flat, cracking to the wall plaster, defective single glazed window units, dated kitchen and sanitary fittings and unsatisfactory electrical assessment which equates to 30% (£360 per month) It should be noted that this figure cannot be a simple arithmetical calculation and is not based upon capital costs but is the Tribunal’s estimate of the amount by which the rent would need to be reduced to attract a tenant.
