From the tribunal's valuation
18 From the Tribunal’s own general knowledge of market rent levels in LB Ealing for a Property of this type prices ranged between £1900 pcm and £2250, it determines that the subject Property would let on normal Assured Periodic Tenancy (APT) terms, for £2000 pcm, fully fitted and in good order. This is the rent we would expect the Property to let for in the open market if it was in the same condition as comparable properties including landlord’s white goods and carpets in the Property and communal areas. 19 The Property had electrically powered storage heating rather than gas fired wet circuit heating. The Tribunal considers this more expensive and less controllable than the conventional water and space heating combined gas powered version and makes a modest deduction for this shortcoming of £100 pcm. The Tribunal therefore determines the new market rent at £1900 pcm.
