From the tribunal's valuation
Using the evidence supplied by the landlord on comparable transactions and their own knowledge and experience of rental levels in and around the Walthamstow area, the Tribunal was of the opinion that, if the house was in the same condition as those available to let on the open market, the rental value would be approximately £1,700 per month equivalent to £392.85 per week. … The landlord acknowledged the older style kitchen and bathroom fittings at this property. It is also reported by the tenant that the property suffers from some damp and has defective electrical wiring. All these matters were taken into account in our appraisal and a deduction of 30% was made from the Market Rent for dilapidation and obsolescence. … After careful consideration, the Tribunal determined that a weekly rent of £275 per week dwelling is appropriate for this dwelling in present condition. … Details of the rental valuation are shown in table 1 below.
