From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal considers the comparables provided by the Landlord are relevant to this matter. The properties at or lower in price than the proposed rent were mid-terraced in all but one case, none had a garage and only one had off-road parking. The two properties that command higher asking rents appeared to be of a similar size and have a garage and off-road parking. … Relying on its own expertise and general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables 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 £1,745 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. … From this level of rent, the Tribunal has made no adjustments as the Property is in a modernised and good condition and there is no evidence of improvements and fittings provided by the Tenant for which they should not pay. … The Tenant submitted that the Landlord had told her in 2021 at the outset of the tenancy that the rent would never be increased. The Landlord denied this. The Tenant admits that the rent was previously increased in 2024, and the Landlord submits that the Tenant did not refuse the rent increase in 2024. …
