From the tribunal's valuation
Firstly, having consideration of our expert, general knowledge of rental values in the Thornton Heath area, The Tribunal considers that the open market rent for the property if it 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 £2,3o0 per month. … The Tribunal now needs to adjust this rent to allow for the dated fittings, no white goods or curtains provided by the Landlord, defective window units and stained and poor-quality carpets. Using its own expertise the Tribunal considers that a deduction of £300 (approximately 13%) should be applied. This reduces the rental figure to £2,000 per month.
