From the tribunal's valuation
In coming to my decision, I had regard to my own general knowledge of market rent levels in the area. The best comparables are those on the same estate or nearby which are limited and, in some instances, difficult to judge comparable due to potential differences in specification. Albeit that there is no evidence of any defects or disrepair at the subject property it is still likely to be at a discount compared to newly refurbished properties. Doing the best, I can with the limited information before me I determine the open market rent of the subject property at £1300 per month.
