From the tribunal's valuation

Relying on its own expertise and general knowledge of rental values in the area, and taking into account the evidence provided by the Tenants and the Landlord’s failure to respond to the application, the Tribunal considers that the market rent of the subject Property is £2,400.00 pcm. … However, the Landlord did not provide any evidence in response to the application, and the Tenants themselves confirmed in their application that they considered the appropriate open market rent to be £2,400.00 pcm. In those circumstances, and applying its own specialist knowledge of rental values for properties of this type and location, the Tribunal determines that £2,400.00 pcm is the rent which the Property would reasonably be expected to achieve in the open market at the valuation date. … The Tribunal has not made any adjustment from that level of rent. … While those matters were noted, the Tribunal did not consider that the evidence justified a deduction from the open market rent. In particular, the Tribunal was not provided with expert evidence, a schedule quantifying any rental impact, or sufficient evidence to establish that the matters complained of materially reduced the rental value of the Property as at the valuation date. The Tribunal therefore makes no adjustment for condition, repairs, furniture, services or any other matter.
