From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal had regard to the comparable transaction rental evidence supplied by both the landlord and the tenant. They note that both sets of rental evidence was for marketed property rather than let dwellings. … The Tribunal applied their own knowledge and experience of rental levels in and around Walthamstow, including a similar but modernised flat in the same block. … After careful consideration of the evidence submitted the Tribunal decided the comparable evidence submitted by the parties broadly represented the lower and upper limits of marketed rents for similar property in the locality. … It was their opinion that if the subject flat was in the same condition as those available to let on the open market the rental value would be £1,000 per month. … The property however is in poor condition as detailed above, and a deduction of 22.5% was made from the market rent for dilapidation and obsolescence, together with deduction of 32.5% to reflect the benefit of the tenant’s improvements made with Landlord consent since he occupied the premises in the early 1990’s, giving a valuation of £450 per month for the dwelling. … The Tribunal determined that £150 per month is payable for the benefit of the garage. …
