From the tribunal's valuation
In coming to its decision, the tribunal had regard to the representations made by both parties. We are not entitled to have regard to the financial position of either party. The matters we are required to take into account are set out in section 14 of the Act which we have summarised above. … Taking into account evidence supplied by the landlord, which were all asking terms rather than actual transactions, our own general knowledge of market rent levels and doing the best I can with the limited information before the tribunal we determine the open market rent of the subject property fully modernised as is the condition usually found in open market lettings at £1685 per month. However, taking into account the current condition of the property we have applied a 5% discount to produce a rent of £1600 per month.
