From the tribunal's valuation
Neither party, at the hearing, made significant submissions regarding the actual valuation itself. The tenant had not considered the matter precisely, and the landlord indicated that the (8) comparable asking rents they had provided were done so purely to assist the Tribunal and they had no particular submissions to make regarding them. They had tried, they averred, to provide a good range of properties (which indeed had asking rents ranging from £2,300 to £3,402 per month) to assist us. … We are, of course, an expert Tribunal which is well aware of general rental levels in the area, but we are grateful for the landlord seeking to provide information to assist us. That being said, we are obliged to note that – as evidence goes – the information provided was merely brief details concerning asking rents taken from an online property listing website; which holds very little weight as evidence of value. … The tenant thought that a reasonable value for the property would be in the £2,000 to £2,200 per month range given its condition. The landlord did not offer a figure per se, but similarly did not indicate that they wished to deviate from the £2,590 they had proposed in the notice of increase. … We considered the matter in line with the evidence and submissions of the parties, and our own expert knowledge of general rental values in the area. …
