From the tribunal's valuation
Having consideration of the comparable evidence provided by the parties and of our own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, we consider that the open market rent for the property in good tenantable condition would be in the region of £415 per week. From this level of rent we have made adjustments in relation to: • The windows and doors at the property being single glazed, and both they and their surrounding frames, lintels and cills being generally in poor condition. • The lack of central heating at the property • The lease terms at the property being less attractive to a potential tenant than would generally be expected in the market as regards internal decorations. • The tenant’s provision of white goods, curtains and other similar furnishings – and the lack of floor coverings provided by the landlord. • The kitchen having been installed (and some other minor works carried out) by the tenant • The damp, mould and water ingress at the property (which, amongst other things, renders the second bedroom unusable as such) – and the external condition of it. … The Tribunal determines a rent of £166 per week and this equates to approximately £719.33 per calendar month.
