From the tribunal's valuation
The Property was a two-bedroom second floor flat within a purpose built block of flats. The Property did not have central heating, but did have double glazing provided by the Landlord. Curtains, carpet and white goods were also provided by the Landlord, however the Tenant told the Tribunal that the dishwasher was not working and the curtains and carpet provided by the Landlord were old. The Property was furnished by the Landlord when the Tenant took up occupation in 1999. Over the following 25 years, the Tenant had replaced most of the furniture as the various items wore out. … The Tribunal then adjusted this to £1,900 to reflect that there was no central heating, the dishwasher and extractor fan did not work and rings on the hob did not work as they should. Additionally, a reduction was made for the general condition of the Property, in particular the bathrooms, double glazing, furniture and carpet.
