From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal is required to determine the rent at which the subject property might reasonably be expected to be let in the open market by a willing Landlord under an assured tenancy. The personal circumstances of the Tenant are not relevant to this issue. … The Tribunal’s starting point is to decide the market rent for the subject property if let on 30 October 2024 in a good condition and on the usual terms for an assured shorthold tenancy. … The Tribunal has examined the parties’ evidence of rents for comparable properties and decides that the rents for the two properties on Nags Head Road provide the best evidence of the open market rent for the subject property. The Tribunal considers that a location on a busy trunk road would be influential in assessing the market rent. Also the two properties on Nags Head Road bore many similarities to the subject property. … The Tribunal finds that the layout of the subject property was better than that for 158 Nags Head Road. The latter has a bathroom on the ground floor and did not have the benefit of a dining room next to the kitchen. In contrast the Tribunal considers the property at 67 Nags Head Road to be superior to that of the subject property. 67 Nags Head was semi-detached slightly larger than the subject property with an additional toilet on the ground floor. …
