From the tribunal's valuation
Having consideration of our own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area of Ilford, we consider that the open market rent for the property in its current condition would be in the region of £3,500 per calendar month. The Tribunal considered that the current liability of the tenant to pay Council Tax as part of the rent had an adverse effect on the market rent. … The property appears to be in overall good condition and with the benefit of double glazing, central heating and modernised modern fixtures and fittings. The Tribunal, therefore, made no further deduction for the overall condition of the property. … In addition, the garage has been converted for use a living accommodation and the property benefits from having a large garden, which increased the amenity level for the tenant.
