From the tribunal's valuation
18 The Tribunal finds the tenant’s and landlord’s photographs and records of assistance for the internal condition. From the Tribunal’s own general knowledge of market rent levels in LB Barnet it determines that the subject Property would let on normal Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) terms, for £2400 pcm, fully fitted and in good order. This is the rent we would expect the Property to let for in the open market if it was in the same condition as comparable properties including landlord’s white goods carpets and curtains. 19 Both parties made lengthy representations on the condition at the Property, how it had been, how it was now and over the cost of repairs and the shortcomings of the other party. The true extent of the position was not easy for the Tribunal to discern. From the representations the Tribunal found that there were some shortcomings at the Property, sufficient to justify a significant deduction in the rent above. The Property had some persistent damp issues to the external walls which appeared to affect some of the interior space. There had been significant defects in the electrical distribution system. There had been defects to the WC and shower. The kitchen white goods had to be replaced by the tenants own fittings. 20 For these significant factors the Tribunal makes a deduction of £400 pcm. The new rent is therefore £2000 per calendar month.
