From the tribunal's valuation
The valuation date is the effective date of the rent proposed in the Notice of Increase. This is 10 March 2026. … The Tribunal values the property on the basis that; (a) The condition of the property disregards any tenant's improvements; there are none in this case. (b) That landlord is responsible for external, internal repair and decoration and maintenance of the appliances. (c) The Tribunal must make a determination under the Housing Act 1988 section 13 and 14 and cannot take into account the social or community nature of the development. … Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided by the landlord, the Tribunal determines that the market rental of the subject Property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £1650.00 pcm. … From this level of rent, the Tribunal has made no adjustments, as the terms of the tenancy and the condition of the subject property are very the same as the general pool of comparables provided by the parties. Market rent £1650 pcm
