From the tribunal's valuation
The valuation date is the effective date of the rent proposed in the Notice of Increase. This is 1 November 2026. … The Tribunal values the property on the basis that; (a) The condition of the property disregards any tenant's improvements, so the condition and specification to which the determination is applied is a property in its pre 1991 condition. (b) That the terms of the tenancy are such that tenant has responsibility for internal decoration and repairs (c) That the tenant has supplied their own white goods (d) That the property has a predisposition to mould on the surfaces of the exterior walls. (e) The Tribunal must make a determination under the Housing Act 1988 section 13 and 14 and cannot take into account the social or community nature of the development. … Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided by the landlord, the Tribunal determines that the market rental of the subject Property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £2200.00 pcm. … From this level of rent, the Tribunal has made adjustments in relation to the following: a) Tenants' improvements identified above b) The nature of the property that predisposes it to condensation and subsequent mould. c) The defects noted and the tired nature of the kitchen and bathroom.
