From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal considers the comparables provided by the Landlord and Tenant are worthy of consideration but it is clear that the condition of the properties varies and the properties being offered at lower rents are not in the condition that would generally be expected for a tenantable property in good order. Likewise it is noted that the comparable properties being marketed at higher asking rents had not resulted in lettings at the date of the report. Nevertheless the Tribunal is grateful to the Landlord and Tenant for submitting the comparable evidence. … Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided by the Landlord and Tenant, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject Property in good order would be in the order of £1.650 pcm. This is the rent we would expect the property to let for in the open market in good tenantable condition. … In the event of material valuation considerations the Tribunal would make adjustments in relation to these but in this case there are no issues reported by the Tenant aside from some reported window drafts. These are not considered to be a material consideration and therefore no adjustments are required. Market rent £1,650 pcm
