From the tribunal's valuation
Having carefully considered all the evidence the Tribunal considers that the rent that would be achieved in a good marketable condition with reasonably modern kitchen and bathroom fittings, modern services, carpets, curtains and white goods supplied by the landlord would be £2,200 per calendar month. … This evidence was for Victorian three-bedroom houses in the area. The Tribunal is of the opinion that these are superior properties and an adjustment of £300 has been made in order to calculate the above figure. (i.e. £2,500 less £300) 17. Next, the Tribunal needs to adjust that hypothetical rent of £2,200 per calendar month to allow for the slightly dated kitchen and bathroom fittings, damaged floor coverings, damaged internal doors, and mould to some internal walls. … The Tribunal has considered very carefully the information provided by the tenant and the findings during the inspection. Using its own expertise, the Tribunal considers that a deduction of £150 per calendar month from the hypothetical rent. This reduces the figure to £2,050 per calendar month. … It should be noted that this figure cannot be a simple arithmetical calculation and is not based upon capital costs but is the Tribunal’s estimate of the amount by which the rent would need to be reduced to attract a tenant. … In his witness statement, the tenant made an application to the Tribunal under s14(7). …
