From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal considers the comparables provided by the Landlord lack detail and are not very useful, being asking rents rather than achieved rents. … Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided by the Landlord, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject Property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £1,800 pcm. This is the rent we would expect the property to let for in the open market if it was in the same general condition as the comparable properties. … From this level of rent, the Tribunal has made adjustments in relation to the following: a) The condition as it was in January 2026. b) The bathroom furniture is in reasonable condition but it needs modernisation relative to comparable properties. The full valuation is shown below: Starting Rent £1,800 pcm Less a) Items given under a) above £200 b) Items given under b) above £50 £250 Market rent £1,550 pcm
