From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal considered the market evidence provided by the tenant and its own knowledge of general rental levels in Westminster. … When considering the tenant’s comparables the Tribunal found that the flats on the market were in better condition, offered more amenities in terms of white goods etc, were in better quality blocks and had less onerous obligations in terms of repairing and decorating than the subject premises. … The Tribunal determined that the market rent for the subject property, let under the terms of the actual tenancy was £940 per month to reflect the terms of the tenancy agreement, excluding those relating to rent, and its position in this utilitarian block.
