From the tribunal's valuation
Following consideration of the written and photographic submissions and using the Tribunal's own knowledge and experience of the rental market within the London area, the Tribunal finds that the open market rental value of the property if it was in good condition would be £2,300 per calendar month. … Taking into account the lack of modernisation and general disrepair, the Tribunal considers it necessary to adjust that open market rental value to reflect specifically the following: (a) the condition of the doors and windows; (b) the decorative condition in some elements of the property; (c) the lack of modernisation to the bathroom; (d) the evidence of damp and defective plaster and (e) rodent infestation. … Taking these matters into consideration as well as other more general factors, the Tribunal finds that it is necessary to make a 30% deduction in the rental value of the property to reflect its condition and lack of modernisation. … The tribunal therefore determines that the market rental value of the property should be set at £371.54 per week .
