From the tribunal's valuation
The tenant submitted two online advertisements as comparable rental evidence. … The Tribunal finds that both comparables are in a superior condition and level of modernisation when compared to the subject Property, and each includes white goods. Additionally, the Steyne Street property benefits from allocated parking, which the subject Property lacks. The Tribunal considers both comparables to be of some assistance; however, in the absence of the agreed rental figure, neither can be regarded as fully reliable. … Having regard to the comparables provided by the tenant and weighing these against the Tribunal’s own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject Property modernised and in good order, would be in the order of £825.00 pcm. 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 white goods, and curtains provided by the landlord. … The full valuation is shown below: Starting Rent £825.00 pcm Less a) Items given under a) above £30.00 b) Items given under b) above £10.00 c) Items given under c) above £25.00 £65.00 Market rent £760.00 pcm
