From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal notes that both parties have provided comparable rental evidence. The Tenant relies upon advertised rents for four two-bedroom properties within the same development. … The Tribunal places greater weight upon the Landlord's evidence as it comprises actual agreed lettings rather than asking rents. Whilst the Tribunal accepts the Tenant's submission that limited information has been provided regarding the precise size, layout and condition of the comparable properties, the lettings are all within the same development and occurred close to the valuation date. … The subject property is a build to rent property with dynamic pricing. The Tribunal therefore considers the landlord’s evidence of achieved rents to provide useful evidence of market levels. The Tribunal has also taken into account the Tenant's advertised comparables but gives them less weight as they do not demonstrate rents that were ultimately achieved. … The rent proposed by the Landlord remains below all the comparables provided by the landlord. … Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided by the Landlord, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject Property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £3180. …
