From the tribunal's valuation
Following consideration of the written and photographic submissions given by both parties and taking into account the Tribunal’s inspection and using its own knowledge and experience of the rental market the Tribunal finds that the market rental value of the property, if it was in good condition, would be £2,300.00 per month. … Taking into account the lack of modernisation and the general disrepair, the Tribunal considers it necessary to adjust that market rental value to reflect specifically the following: i) Central heating is in effect provided by the tenants. ii) There is inadequate electrical installation by modern standards. iii) The bathroom is inadequate by modern standards. iv) There is some evidence of condensation and mould growth within the property. … Taking these and other more general factors into consideration, the Tribunal finds that it is necessary to make a 16% deduction in the market rental value of the property to reflect its condition and lack of modernisation.
