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 did not disagree with the rent proposed by the Landlord that the open market rent for the property in good tenable condition would be £950 per calendar month. … Such a tenancy would normally include white goods, carpets, curtains/blinds and associated fittings to all be provided by the Landlord, as they are in this case. … The Tenant made no representation that the starting date for the new rent specified in the Landlord’s notice would cause the Tenant undue hardship. … Accordingly, the Tribunal directed that the new rent of £950 per month should take effect from 25th September 2024, this being the date specified in the notice.
