From the tribunal's valuation
The parties did not offer any evidence on market rents for comparable properties. … After careful consideration of the available evidence the Tribunal decided that the market rent for a property of this type in the same condition as those available to let on the open market is £3,000 per month, equivalent to approximately £692 per week. … The tenant has provided all carpets, curtains, white goods, soft furnishings and ancillary furniture. A deduction of 6.5% was made to reflect the value of these items. … The property was in poor condition as detailed above and a further deduction of 56.5% was made to reflect the rot to windows, damage to internal plasterwork, unusable basement space, extensive penetrating and rising damp, electrical surface wiring and the lack of central heating. … This produced a monthly rent of £1,305 which equates to 52 equal instalments of £301.15 per week. Details of the rent calculation are shown in the table 1 below. Table 1: Rent calculation 25. The Tribunal accordingly determined that a weekly rent of £301.15 per week is appropriate for this dwelling in present condition but excluding the benefit of the furniture and other items provided by the tenant.
