From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal therefore relied on its own knowledge and experience in assessing the starting point rent of £1400 per month. However, the Tribunal needed to reflect the condition of the kitchen and bathroom which were not in a condition usual for a modern letting. It also took into account the evidence of damp and the fact that the tenant had provided his own white goods and floor coverings. The Tribunal considered that these matters required an adjustment of 25% or £350 per month. … For the above reasons the Tribunal assessed the market rent in accordance with section 14 of the Housing Act 1988 as £1,050 per month, taking effect from 1 August 2019.
