From the tribunal's valuation
In the absence of any evidence from the Landlord, the Tribunal accepted the Tenant’s evidence about improvements carried out by them, as well as the evidence of leaks to the property. … Relying on its own expertise and general knowledge of rental values in the area, and noting that the property is above a commercial unit with access from what appears to be a service area at the rear of the building, which is not comparable to a flat in a purpose-built block, the Tribunal considers that the market rent of the subject Property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £1,250.00 pcm. This is the rent we would expect the property to let for in the open market at the valuation date.
