From the tribunal's valuation
Following consideration of the written and photographic submissions given by both parties, taking into account the Tribunal’s inspection and using its own knowledge and experience of the rental market in Maida Vale, the Tribunal finds that the market rental value of the property, if it was in good condition, would be £2,300 per month. … Taking into account the lack of modernisation and the general disrepair excluding tenants’ improvements the Tribunal considers it necessary to adjust that market rental value to reflect specifically the following: i) The tenant’s full decorating liability. ii) The tenant’s provision of carpets. iii) The fact that the tenant has fitted the kitchen. iv) The fact that the tenant has fitted the bathroom. v) Evidence of condensation. … Taking these and other more general factors into consideration, the Tribunal finds that it is necessary to make a 28% deduction in the market rental value of the property to reflect its condition and lack of modernisation.
