From the tribunal's valuation
Both comparables supplied by the Tenant were over two miles from the Property. The Tribunal prefers evidence of similar properties within close proximity to the Property. … Relying on its own expertise and general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the information provided by the Landlord and the Tenant, the Tribunal considers that the market rent of the subject Property would be in the order of £1,750 pcm. This is the rent we would expect the property to let for in the open market at the valuation date and if it was in the same general condition as comparable properties.
