From the tribunal's valuation
In coming to its decision, the tribunal had regard to the member’s own general knowledge of market rent levels in the area. … Generally, the majority of properties available on the market are of a higher decorative standard than the subject property and adjustment should be made to reflect this. It is also likely that floor coverings, curtains and white goods would be provided. The starting point taken for the rent is £280 per week from which a sum of £112 has been deducted to arrive at a net rent of £168 per week inclusive of a variable service charge of £0.96. … This figure represents a maximum and it is likely, as in this case that social landlords will charge a lesser amount.
