From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal did not inspect the property but relied on the photographs of the property within the submissions and the parties description. Both parties agreed that the property was in good order and that the landlord carried out repairs when needed. … In terms of the submissions relating to alleged subletting and use of the property for business purposes these do not have any impact upon the determination of the rent. … The Tribunal has no evidence to indicate that the Landlord held a licence at the date the Notice of Increase of Rent was due to come into effect. … The Respondent submitted a number of comparables in the Road which ranged from £1600 per month to £1750 per month. Unfortunately, these property details do not give details of internal condition or specification. Also, the comparables do not have any detail of whether they were achieved or when. The Tribunal however gives them some weight in terms of context only. … Having consideration of the comparable evidence provided by the parties and of our own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, we consider that the open market rent for the property in good tenantable condition, and licenced would be in the region of £2200.00 per month. However, at the date of the rent there was no licence. …
