From the tribunal's valuation
Having carefully considered all the evidence the Tribunal considers that the rent that would be achieved a good marketable condition with reasonably modern kitchen and bathroom fittings, modern services, carpets, curtains and white goods supplied by the landlord would be £1,700 per month. This figure is based upon the comparable evidence provided by the parties, and the Tribunal’s professional judgement and experience of rental values in the Manor Park area. … Next, the Tribunal needs to adjust that hypothetical rent of £1,700 per month to allow for cracked plaster, water staining, frayed and worn hallway carpet and blown seals to the double glazed windows. … The Tribunal has considered very carefully the information provided by the tenant and the findings during the inspection. Using its own expertise, the Tribunal considers that a deduction of £175 should be applied in order to take account of the above matters. This reduces the figure to £1,525 per month. … It should be noted that this figure cannot be a simple arithmetical calculation and is not based upon capital costs but is the Tribunal’s estimate of the amount by which the rent would need to be reduced to attract a tenant. …
