From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal considered all the information provided by the parties. … The Tribunal considered that the comparables provided by the Landlord of other properties in the building, with the associated explanation, were compelling evidence as to the rent. The comparables offered by the Tenant are in different areas from the subject property. … 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 £990 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 considered the evidence supplied by the Tenant regarding its internal decoration, including the kitchen and bathroom, and regarded the state and condition as dated. In addition, the Tenant has properly evidenced the replacement of the washing machine, which the Tribunal accepts. There was no evidence supplied as to other matters on which the Tenant relied regarding the management of the property.
