From the tribunal's valuation
Applying its specialist knowledge and experience of the local rental market, and doing the best it can on the limited evidence available, the Tribunal considers that the market rent for the Property, assuming it to be modernised and in good order and let on ordinary open market terms, would be £1,150 pcm. That figure reflects the Tribunal’s assessment of the Property as a one-bedroom first-floor flat in Barking, with the accommodation and amenities described above, and gives only limited weight to the higher figures advanced in the agents’ appraisals. … From this level of rent, the Tribunal has made no adjustment for disrepair or condition. Although the Tenant raised complaints about the doors, windows, hygiene, pests and electrics, those allegations were unsupported by photographs, inspection evidence, repair records, expert evidence or other material enabling the Tribunal to make a quantified adjustment.
