From the tribunal's valuation
In coming to its valuation, the tribunal has had regard to the comparables provided. We find that, if the property were in the condition to be expected of a current market letting, that the rent suggested by the landlord would be reasonable. We have therefore started at a figure of £22,360.00 per annum as the market rent. … However, the property must be valued on the basis that the tenant’s improvements have not been carried out, that no white goods, carpets or curtains have been supplied by the landlord, and that a tenant would seek a substantial reduction from that asking rent to reflect the unmodernised condition of the property. … It is the tribunal’s view that a tenant would seek a reduction of at least the tribunal’s view that a tenant would seek a reduction of at least 35% of the market value, approximately £7,800.00, resulting in a market rent in the region of £1,200.00. … The tribunal therefore determines the market rent for the subject property taking into consideration the tenant’s improvements at £1,200.00 per calendar month. In fact, this is the rent currently passing under the tenancy and therefore the tribunal determines that the rent remains at that currently payable by the tenant. … The tribunal’s decision takes effect from 19 September 2019 with the result that the tenant continues to pay the rent at the existing level.
