From the tribunal's valuation
Section 14 of the Housing Act 1988 requires the Tribunal to determine the rent at which it considers the Property might reasonably be expected to be let on the open market by a willing landlord under an assured tenancy, on the terms of the subject tenancy other than as to rent, and disregarding the matters set out in section 14(2). Those disregards include any effect on the rent attributable to the fact that the Tenants are sitting tenants, and any increase in value attributable to a relevant improvement carried out by the Tenants. … The Tribunal is grateful to both parties for the comprehensive written statements, the comparable evidence provided by the Landlord and helpful submissions made at the hearing. The evidence relied upon by the Landlord consists of advertised asking rents rather than achieved rents. Asking rents are of assistance in establishing the tone of the market but they are not conclusive, since a property may in the event let at a figure above or below the rent at which it was advertised. … There is also an on- call warden in case of emergencies. … The Tribunal concluded that the rent at which the property might reasonably be expected to be let on the open market in its current condition would be in the order of £890 per week inclusive of the fixed service charge, communal heating, and hot water. …
