From the tribunal's valuation
Firstly, having consideration of the Landlord’s comparable evidence together with our own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the Sydenham Park area, we consider that the open market rent for the property in its current condition would be £485 per week (£2100 per month). … The Tribunal now needs to adjust this rent to allow for no carpets, curtains and white goods provided by the Landlord. Using its own expertise the Tribunal considers that a deduction of £50 (approximately 10%) should be applied. This reduces the rental figure to £435 per week.
