From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal has carefully considered the written submissions provided by both parties, the oral submissions and evidence given by the Landlord and Tenant at the hearing, and their own observations from the inspection. … Any works undertaken by the Landlord are therefore taken into account. Any improvement works by the Tenant are disregarded, although it was agreed there are none. Any issues with the condition of the Property caused by the actions of the Tenant are disregarded. … As set out in paragraph 18 above, the Property has had various works of repair and redecoration undertaken in the past one to three years. The Tribunal’s experience is in accordance with the Landlord’s statement that it is unusual to have to replace appliances as often as has been necessary in this Property. … The photographs provided by the parties at the date of the Tenant’s eviction show aspects of the Property to be in poor condition. Given how recently the Property was redecorated and the appliances replaced, the Tribunal accepts that these issues were caused by the occupation of the Tenant. … The Tribunal found the comparables submitted by the Landlord between £1,800 and £1,975 per calendar month appeared to be within modern purpose-built blocks of flats. The rent at which the Property would be let would be lower. …
