From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal first considered whether it felt able to reasonably and fairly decide this case based on the papers submitted only with no oral hearing. Having inspected the property, read and considered the papers it decided that it could do so. … The Tribunal then considered whether it should admit the additional papers received from the Agent after the close of business on Friday 9th January 2026. … The Tribunal is required to determine the rent at which the subject property might reasonably be expected to be let in the open market by a willing Landlord under an assured tenancy. The personal circumstances of the Parties are not relevant to this issue. … There are relatively few properties of this type which provide comparable rental evidence, and neither party has been able to provide a close comparison. The accommodation is spacious but the access to the living accommodation is poor for a property of this size and the garden is of a size to require greater maintenance than might be expected for such accommodation. … Notwithstanding the above points the property has the advantage of 3 garages providing useful storage and is close to the town centre, but this carries noise and anti-social behaviour. … The Tribunal does not accept the Tenant’s assertion that the property is unlettable. …
