From the tribunal's valuation

The Tribunal agrees with the tenant that it is not practicable for the tenant to redecorate the property until the plasterwork has been put into repair. In terms of tenants improvements the Tribunal did not identify any, but in any event the disregard of tenant’s improvements is only allowed during such period of time that the property was let as an assured tenancy, as a result of section 14(2) and (3) of the Housing Act 1998. The Tribunal has no jurisdiction to comment on the status of the tenants. … In terms of rental value, the Tribunal accepts as a starting point the landlord’s case that the property is in very good condition would be worth in the region of £2500 per month if let on assured shorthold tenancy (AST). However, although substantial work has been done, the property is not in such a condition at present. Therefore the Tribunal considered that substantial adjustment was required to reflect the actual condition of the property as at the date of its inspection. …
