From the tribunal's valuation
Having consideration of the comparable evidence provided by the parties and our own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the Belvedere area, we consider that the open market rent for the property in good lettable condition with modern fittings and services would be £1,500 per month. … The Tribunal has considered carefully the party’s submissions and using its own expertise, we consider a deduction of £150 per month should be applied to take into account no white goods provided by the Landlord and no heating system other than basic electric heaters which have recently been upgraded. This reduces the rental figure to £1,350 per 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.
