From the tribunal's valuation
However, there is a lack of finite detail of the letting of the comparable properties to assist the Tribunal wholly. … Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the assistance provided by the landlord, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject Property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £2,000 per calendar month. This 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 including having central heating, double glazing, white goods and curtains provided by the landlord. … The Tribunal notes in addition to the two dogs, there were other pets in enclosures at the property. … The Tribunal has determined to make a single overall adjustment for ‘items of disrepair’, as opposed to make an adjustment for each item identified. … The Tribunal’s rental valuation with adjustments is as follows: Market Rent £2,000.00 pcm Less a) Tenant’s provision of the washing machine £15.00 b) Items of disrepair £350.00 £365.00 Market rent £1,635.00 pcm
