From the tribunal's valuation
Having consideration of the comparable evidence proved by the tenant and of our own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, we consider that the open market rent for a one bedroomed property in good tenantable condition be in the region of £1800 per calendar month. From this level of rent we have made adjustments in relation to the location of the property in the building (basement with limited natural light) and conclude that an open market rent for this property would be in the region of £1,500 per month. … The property is let on the terms of an AST with no real obligations on the tenant’s behalf save as set out in the agreement. We therefore do not consider there would be any further deductions to make. … The Tribunal determines a rent of £1500 per calendar month.
