From the tribunal's valuation
None of the properties provided by either party were within the same road as this Property and none of the confirmed the actual rent acquired in respect of the properties. The properties ranged considerably in respect of location and size and the Tribunal found that neither parties’ comparables were particularly helpful. The properties in Eastwood Road would appear to be outliers in terms of the evidence available to the Tribunal. … 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 £1600.00 pcm. This is the rent we would expect the property to let for in the open market if it was in the same general condition as the comparable properties. … From this level of rent, the Tribunal has made adjustments in relation to the following: a) The pest infestation in the kitchen b) The poor state of repair/workmanship. The full valuation is shown below: Starting Rent £1,600.00 pcm Less a) Items given under a) above £50.00 b) Items given under b) above £150.00 £200.00 Market rent £1400.00 pcm
