From the tribunal's valuation
In the first instance the Tribunal determined what rent the landlord could reasonably be expected to obtain for the subject property in the open market if it were let on the determination date in the condition that is considered usual for such an open market letting. The Tribunal considered the value of the property in light of its local knowledge and experience with regard to the submissions of the Landlord and Tenant. … Having consideration of the evidence provided by the parties and of our own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, we consider that the open market rent for the subject property in good tenantable condition would be in the region of £925 per calendar month, inclusive of bills. … A notional adjustment of £25 was made in relation to council tax and water rates. It was necessary for the Tribunal to estimate the Tenant’s contribution to council tax and water rates in the absence of any evidence to the contrary. … The Tribunal determines a rent of £900 (exclusive of council tax and water rates), per calendar month. … The Tribunal directs the new rent of £900 per calendar month to take effect on 14 October 2024; this being the date set out in the Landlord’s Notice of Increase. … The total figure including those charges would be £925 per calendar month
