From the tribunal's valuation
18 The Tribunal finds the tenant’s comparable properties to let around in early 2026, helpful. From these and from the Tribunal’s own general knowledge of market rent levels in Tower Hamlets it determines that the subject Property would let on normal Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) terms, for £2200 per calendar month, 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 carpets and curtains. 19 From the representations the Tribunal found the following relevant factors which would affect this starting rental valuation: Although there were small items of disrepair at the valuation date those present beforehand had mainly been dealt with by the landlord. There was though the absence of floor coverings in good condition or any white goods. The Tribunal makes a small deduction of £50 pcm to reflect this, leaving a new market rent at £2150 pcm.
