From the tribunal's valuation
The landlord proposed a rental of £2,400 per calendar month with effect from 25 May 2026. The tenant proposed that the rent should decrease to £2,000 per calendar month, and that hardship should be taken into consideration if an increase was agreed. Although the tenant suggested that rents nearby had reduced no evidence was supplied to support this claim. … The landlord provided copies of rental advertisements for three properties in the same building, with rents ranging from £2,300.00 to £2,400.00. Without comparables from the tenant, we must rely on the landlord’s evidence. This is compelling, given that the comparable flats are in the same building. We do consider however that the rent proposed by the landlord is too high, being for a newly available unit. We consider that a market rent of £2,300.00 per calendar month would be more appropriate, and takes account of the length of the tenancy and the siting of the waste processing unit near by. We believe that the railway line was in existence at the start of the tenancy, and the rent would have taken this into consideration at that point. We make no further deduction for this. … Comparable evidence: £2,400.00 Less £100.00 to reflect age of fittings and location of waste processing site. £ 100.00 Market rent: £2,300.00
