From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal has carefully considered the written submissions provided by both parties and their own observations from the inspection. … As set out in paragraph 7 above, the Tribunal is valuing the Property if offered vacant on the market by a willing landlord. Any works that have been undertaken by the Landlord are therefore taken into account. Any improvement works by the Tenant are disregarded. In this case this would only be the presence of additional items of furniture. Any issues with the condition of the Property caused by the actions of the Tenant are disregarded. … The house is not in pristine condition, however, the level of wear and tear appears as expected for a HMO of ten bedrooms. As set out in paragraph 13 above, the house has had various works of repair and redecoration undertaken in the past one to two years and is appropriately managed and maintained by the Landlord. … Issues raised by the Tenant in respect of the bed, electrical sockets, heating and mice infestation have been confirmed to be resolved. … The Tribunal found the comparables submitted by the Landlord at £800 per calendar month to be within smaller houses/flats. From the information provided, it appears they did not have ensuites as contended by the Tenant. The Property is a room within a larger house, sharing with more people and this is likely to affect the amount of rent achievable. …
