From the tribunal's valuation
We consider the selection of his comparables does not really reflect the subject property. We are of the opinion that the Landlord’s comparables are more reflective of the values for Marius Road and are more aligned to the Tribunal’s general knowledge of rental values in the area. … However, this average includes the studio flat and the one-bedroom flats. … If we take the average of the two-bedroom comparables offered by the Landlord, then the average asking rent is £2,925. We acknowledge that those asking rents and in our opinion, and relying on our own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £2,800 pcm. This is the rent we would expect the property to let for in the open market if it was in the same general condition as the comparable properties. … This is not disputed by the Landlord and given the extensive history of Tribunal cases we are satisfied that the condition of the property is extremely poor. However, he has taken a purely mathematical approach to come to his opinion that the rent should be fixed at £400. He has taken the deductions from 40% to 75% and extrapolated the level of deduction on an annual basis to reach a deduction of 79.5%. We do not agree with this approach. …
