From the tribunal's valuation
19 From the Tribunal’s own general knowledge of market rent levels in the north of LB Southwark for a Property of this type and location, it determines that the subject Property would let on normal Assured Periodic Tenancy (APT) terms, for £1700 pcm, fully fitted and in good order. This is the rent we would expect the Property to let for in the open market if it was in the same condition as comparable properties including landlord’s white goods and carpets in the Property. 20 The Property had electrically powered storage heating rather than gas fired wet circuit heating. The Tribunal considers this more expensive and less controllable than gas powered conventional water and space heating. Furniture or its absence, makes no difference here. However the comparables provided have the same form of space and water heating and so it makes no deduction to reflect this element further. The Tribunal therefore determines the new market rent at £1700 pcm.
