From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal was struck by the large size of the subject property and for that reason found that the best comparable was the letting at Greencroft Gardens. The Tribunal rejected Compayne Gardens as this was a newly constructed property. It found the other comparables less helpful as in some cases the floor areas were not adequately stated whilst in others it was clear that the properties were significantly smaller. The Tribunal firstly adjusted Greencroft Gardens to reflect the additional bathroom, WC balcony and rear garden access at that property. It considered that this required an adjustment of £175 per month giving an adjusted rent of £2,750 per month had the subject property been in the condition usual for a current market letting. However, the subject property was not in that condition owing to the disrepair (see above) and the absence of landlords’ white goods. The Tribunal was also required to disregard the effect of the tenants’ improvements to the bathroom. The Tribunal considered that these factors required an adjustment of 25% or £687.50 per month. This left an adjusted rent of £2,062.50 which the Tribunal rounded to £2,060 per month. … The Tribunal therefore determined that the market rent was £2,060 with effect from 1 November 2019 being the commencement date for the new rent as specified in the landlords’ notice.
