From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal determined that the market rent for the properties within the area of Haringey was within the range of £1200.00 per month. However, the Tribunal was aware that the tenant was responsible for internal decoration of the premise. The Tribunal made a discount for terms and conditions of the tenancy. The Tribunal was also aware that whilst the landlord stated that the previous owner had carried out works in 2014 there was no evidence that full modernisation had been carried out within the premises. There were also no white goods, curtains and carpeting provided by the landlord at the premises. The comparables provided by the respondent were for premises in a condition usual for a market letting. … The property was not in a condition usual for a market letting. Thus in the first instance the Tribunal determined what rent the landlord could reasonably be expected to obtain for the property in the open market if it were let today (that is at the date of the determination) in the condition that is considered usual for such an open market letting which was £1,200 per calendar month. The Tribunal made a deduction of 30% to reflect this. … The Tribunal has determined that the market rent for the premises is £840.00 PCM. The Tribunal has considered whether section 13 costs ought to be awarded. …
