From the tribunal's valuation
The valuation date is the effective date of the rent proposed in the Notice of Increase. This is 1 January 2026. … The Tribunal values the property on the basis of the findings above. … The Tribunal considers both sets of comparables but gives more weight to comparables where a letting has taken place. … The Tribunal determines the property if let in a good contemporary condition to be £2250.00 pcm 33. The Tribunal notes the recent installation of the electric heater in the bathroom. A prospective tenant seeing the bathroom would see an extractor fan and a heater in a bathroom that is in good condition. The fact that the bathroom has three external walls and so potential increased heating costs, would not, given the condition of the bathroom and the presence of the extractor fan and heater cause the market to discount the value of the flat from other comparables on those facts. The tribunal is distinguishing from the lived experience of the actual tenant and the rental bid offered by a notional tenant representing the “market”.
