From the tribunal's valuation
The tribunal has considered the evidence of the parties relating to the condition of the property and improvements. In addition to the comparable rental evidence provided by the parties the tribunal also relies on its knowledge and experience. … The tribunal accept the evidence of the tenant regarding improvements which have been carried out and therefore the original kitchen and bathroom are not visible on an inspection. … The tribunal notes the significant number of lettings of comparable flats in the block and the rents that have been achieved. This provides strong evidence of the market. However the tribunal has to value the flat in the condition as supplied by the landlord disregarding the tenant’s improvements. The flat is also valid without carpets curtains and white goods. … The tribunal considers that this flat, repaired and modernised, let in the market on an AST on normal market terms, in the condition the market would expect including carpets, curtains and white goods would achieve a rent of £2500 per month. The tribunal has deducted 20% to reflect the lack of carpets, curtains and white goods and the improved bathroom and central heating to reach a rent of £2000 per month. … There is no evidence before the tribunal of hardship so the rent takes effect from the date set out in the landlord’s notice.
