From the tribunal's valuation
Whereas the Tribunal has read all the contents of the bundle (the papers), it limits its discussion and considerations to those points relevant to reach its determination. … Both parties have provided the Tribunal with replies in their Rents 1A and Rents 1B forms to present their cases. … The information provided includes a copy of the tenancy agreement dated 23 November 2023, a selection of both internal and external photographs, and submissions on the market rent. … From the Tribunal’s interpretation of their Reading of the papers, whereas the balance of the description of the accommodation and features of the property are agreed by the parties, there is disagreement as to whether the garage is included in the demise. … As to the garage, the Tribunal determines on the bases of the evidence before it, it is not included in the demise. … Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the limited submissions on rental value given by the parties, the Tribunal determines the market rent of the subject property modernised and in good order to be £1,550.00 per calendar month. That is the rent we would expect the property to let for in the open market if it was in the same general condition as the comparable properties having white goods, central heating, double glazing, carpets and curtains provided by the landlord. …
