From the tribunal's valuation
The former two ground and first-floor flats have been converted into a single two storey house by the Tenant. Therefore, the Tribunal have to undertake a hypothetical valuation based upon the assumption there are two flats. … The Tribunal received submissions from the Tenant regarding the improvements undertaken by him during the 33 years of occupation. Using its own expertise and this evidence, we consider a deduction of £450 (25%) per month should be applied to take into account the significant improvements made by the Tenant. This reduces the rental figure to £1,350 per calendar month. It should be noted that this figure cannot be a simple arithmetical calculation and is not based on capital costs but is the Tribunal’s estimate of the amount by which the rent would need to be reduced to attract a tenant.
