From the tribunal's valuation
Having consideration of the comparable evidence provided by the Landlord, and our own expert general knowledge of rental values in the Anerley area. The Tribunal has considered the comparable evidence of 5 properties provided by the Landlord which ranged between £1650-£1750. It is the opinion of the Tribunal each of these properties are larger and superior two bedroom flats. We consider that the open market rent for the property if it benefitted from a more conventional layout and were in good marketable condition with reasonably modern kitchen and bathroom, modern services, carpets and curtains and white goods supplied by the landlord would be £1,600 per month. … From this level of rent we have made adjustments in relation to: the damp and mould to the flat and utility room, (former balcony) cracking to the wall plaster in the kitchen and bathroom, blown seals to the double glazing units in utility room, evidence of rodent infestation, a black plastic bag taped to the kitchen ceiling which covers a large hole with crumbling plaster, general refurbishment and, importantly, the poor internal configuration which equates to approximately 20% (£320)
