From the tribunal's valuation
The Tenant’s evidence generally relates to properties being marketed. In some cases the date the property was being marketed was not clear. No confirmation of the actual rents achieved has been provided. … The Tribunal agrees. … The Landlord has provided confirmation of recent completed transactions on similar properties within the immediate area. This includes three open market lettings at £2,325 pcm and a renewal at £2,375 pcm. The Tribunal finds that open market lettings to be the most relevant evidence for the valuation of the Property. … Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided by the Landlord, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the Property would be in the order of £2,325 pcm. … The Tribunal has taken into account the configuration, specification and condition of the property in arriving at the level of rent achievable in the open market set out above and therefore makes no further adjustments.
