From the tribunal's valuation
(a) The Tribunal concluded that the rent at which the Property might reasonably be expected to be let on the open market would be £1,350 per calendar month. In coming to this figure, the Tribunal had regard to the rent achieved for 592 Goresbrook Road (£1,150 per month), which is much smaller and has less outside space. The rent for the Property should be higher than this figure but at the lower end of the other comparables. (b) However, to make allowances for the condition of the Property as found on the inspection, particularly the bathroom, kitchen and rear garden fencing, the Tribunal considered a deduction of £135 per calendar month (10%) was appropriate. This deduction also takes account of the Tenant’s fitting of the first floor carpets. No adjustment was appropriate for the internal redecoration of the Property. (c) The adjusted rent therefore amounts to £1,215 per calendar month.
