From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal has had regard to the evidence supplied by the tenant, together with the Tribunal’s own knowledge and experience of rental levels in and around the locality of the property. On this basis, it was their opinion that if the flat were in the same condition and managed to the same standard as those available to let on the open market the rental value would be £1,600.00 per month. … The property exhibits extensive dilapidation and obsolescence. All soft furnishings, white goods and furniture are provided by the tenant. The adjustments made from market rent to reflect the dilapidation, obsolescence and tenants fixtures are shown in table 1 below. … After careful consideration, the Tribunal determined that a deduction from market rent of 72.5% was appropriate and reasonable to reflect the dilapidation and obsolescence of the property. The Tribunal are cognisant of the contribution made by the tenant through the provision of carpets, curtains, white goods, soft furnishings and some minor repairs to the bathroom ceiling and walls.
