From the tribunal's valuation
Having consideration of the evidence provided by the parties and our own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the Earls Court Road area, we consider that the open market rent for the property in good lettable condition with modern fittings and services would be £2,300 per month. … The Tribunal received substantial submissions from the parties regarding the condition of the property, using its own expertise and this evidence, we consider a deduction of £400 per month should be applied to take into account the penetrating damp and mould, the basic secondary glazed windows on a very noisy road, the second floor location without a lift, cracking to wall and ceiling plaster and dated kitchen fittings This reduces the rental figure to £1,900 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.
