From the tribunal's valuation
From the photographs provided by the Tenant, the interior of the Property appears to be in reasonable condition. The Tenant states in Form Rents 1B that there is a large duct next to the entrance door to the flat, which he says comes from KFC and emits smoke. The Tribunal has seen photographs showing the duct, but there is no evidence to establish that it emits smoke. The Property is compact, with the living space and kitchen combined into one room and one small bedroom, although the photographs show that the bedroom accommodates at least a double bed and wardrobe. There is a full-size cooker in the living area with an extractor hood. … Having regard to the Property’s reasonable standard, compact layout, location close to local amenities, and proximity to transport links in the London area, and applying its own specialist knowledge and experience of rental values in the area, the Tribunal considers that the open market rent for the Property, assuming it to be in good order and let on the statutory assumptions, is £1,100 per calendar month. In reaching that figure, the Tribunal has taken into account the limiting features of the Property, including its compact size, its position above commercial premises and the access arrangements by way of an external fire escape. …
