From the tribunal's valuation
Thus in the first instance the Tribunal determined what rent the landlord could reasonably be expected to obtain for the property in the open market if it were let today (that is at the date of the determination) in the condition that is considered usual for such an open market letting. … No comparable evidence of rents was provided by either the landlord or tenant. The Tribunal, therefore, used its own knowledge and expertise about flats in the locality of the subject property and having done so , it concluded that such a likely market rent would be £250 per week. … However, since the actual condition of the property is not definitively known by the Tribunal, it made assumptions as to the provision of carpets, curtains and white good as well as taking into account the electric shower. To take the above into account a deduction of 15% was made from the market rent to arrive at a weekly sum £212 (rounded down).
