From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal had regard to the comparable transaction rental evidence supplied by the landlord. They note that the rental evidence was for marketed property rather than let dwellings. … The landlord argues in their written submission that the market rent for the premises in “modernised/good condition” is £2,000 per month. They make deductions of £100 per month for the mix of single and double-glazed windows, £150 for the tenants supplied whitegoods, curtains, blinds, internal decorations and floor coverings and a further £200 per month for inhospitable conditions caused by penetrating dampness. They felt strongly this is a material rental valuation consideration. … After careful consideration of the evidence submitted the Tribunal decided the premises in the same condition as those available to let on the open market would have a rental value of £2,000 per month. This accords with the evidence submitted by the Landlord. … The Tribunal accordingly determined that a monthly rent of £750 is appropriate for this dwelling in present condition but excluding the benefit arising from any improvements by the tenant or the use of their household effects and furnishings.
