From the tribunal's valuation
16 From the Tribunal’s own general knowledge of market rent levels in Orpington it determines that the subject Property would let on normal Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) terms, for £1650 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. 17 From the representations the Tribunal found the minor defects within the Property, the plumbing issues, the defective radiator, the absence of white goods, carpets and curtains. The Tribunal makes a small deduction of £100 to reflect these shortcomings, leaving a new market rent at £1,550 pcm.
