From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal has considered the written submission provided by the Tenant. There were not written submissions from the Landlord about the state of repair of the Property. … In the first instance the Tribunal determined what rent the Landlord could reasonably be expected to obtain for the property in the open market if it were let today in the condition that is considered usual for such an open market letting. … Having consideration of our own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, and in the road itself, we consider that the open market rent for the property in good tenantable condition would be in the region of £1,850 per calendar month. … This hypothetical rent is adjusted as necessary to allow for the differences between the terms and conditions considered usual for such a letting and the condition of the actual property at the date of the determination. … Our deductions are not based on any monetary values but reflect the amount of discount a tenant would require if taking this property on the open market in its current condition. … The full valuation is shown below: PCM AST Market rent £1,850 Less deductions for condition as above 10% -£185 £1,665
