From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal has read all the contents of the bundle (the papers), but it limits its discussion and considerations to those points relevant to reach its determination. … In valuation terms an analysis on a pounds per square metre basis is an accepted method of valuation where the properties being compared have common characteristics. That is to say, inter alia: the properties are in the same, or a similar, building, thereby they share many characteristics; the transactions are contemporaneous or are not too remote; and the features of each property are known, typically, its condition, floor area, position in the building and size (gross internal area). … However, the Tribunal attributes substantial weight to the landlords’ comparable evidence and market analysis insofar as supported by the listings and other documentary evidence provided. … 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 including having white goods and curtains provided by the landlord.
