From the tribunal's valuation
Firstly, the Tribunal considered the rental evidence provided by the landlord. Essentially, this was a generic list of 25 flats taken from the Zoopla web site. The flats ranged from up market modern 2 bedrooms through to 1-bedroom flats at a rental range of £1,050- £2,100 per month. … Therefore, having carefully considered all the evidence the Tribunal considers that an achievable rent for the property in a good marketable condition with reasonably modern kitchen and bathroom fittings, modern services with carpets curtains and white goods provided by the Landlord would be £1,400 per month. This figure is based upon the landlord’s comparable evidence and the Tribunal’s professional judgement and experience in the Hounslow area. … The Tribunal considered the condition of the property based upon the above findings at the time of inspection. Accordingly, we consider a deduction of £250 per month should be applied to take into account the lack of proper ventilation and lighting, the location on the third floor with no lift, no proper central heating and dated sanitary fittings. This reduces the rental figure to £1,150 per month. It should be noted that this figure cannot be a simple arithmetical calculation and is not based on capital costs but is the Tribunal’s estimate of the amount by which the rent would need to be reduced to attract a tenant.
