From the tribunal's valuation
13 Having carefully considered all of the evidence the Tribunal considers that the rent that would be achieved in good condition with refurbished kitchen and bathroom fittings, modern services, central heating, carpets, curtains, white goods supplied by the landlord and possibly double glazing. would be £1350 per month. The Tribunal did its very best to analyse each of the parties’ comparable evidence, in which it had to make certain assumptions regarding specification, location, floor area, actual achieved rent value and any market movement compared with the date of valuation. The respondent’s evidence ranged from £1325-£1350 if we take out the first comparable. When we look at the applicant’s evidence, this provides a range of £1250-£1350. This excludes the ground floor flat where the Tribunal gave this less weight as this was a rent set in 2011. Therefore, there is a common theme in both parties’ evidence and the Tribunal determined the figure of £1350 falls within the range of the parties’ evidence with no single compelling comparable. … That however is the rent that would be achieved if the property was let in good condition with all modern amenities. The Tribunal must disregard any increase in rental value attributable to the tenant’s improvements, unless they are carried out under an obligation to the landlord. …
