From the tribunal's valuation
It noted some limited wall staining from past water ingress. The bathroom and WC are both tired with non-matching suites. The front steps are missing some tiles. The kitchen is generally in good condition, but the floor is sloping in part. The tribunal does not consider that the outside WC would impact rent. The Tribunal did not detect a particular problem with floorboards. It also notes that the EHO report was favourable overall. … The Tribunal considers that this is a three bedroomed house having been designed with two ground floor reception rooms. It does not therefore consider that four-bedroom houses are the correct comparator. … However, The Tribunal considers it necessary to make allowances for the defects set out above. It considers that these require a 20% reduction in rent. The Tribunal therefore finds that the market rent is £3,200 per month. … The applicants have not submitted that a deferment of the rent commencement date should be given owing to undue hardship under section 14(7) of the Act. Therefore the Tribunal determines that the increased rent shall commence with effect from 16 April 2025 being the date specified in the landlord’s notice.
