From the tribunal's valuation
Under section 14(1) of the Housing Act 1988 (as amended), the Tribunal is required to determine the rent at which the Property might reasonably be expected to let in the open market by a willing Landlord at the beginning of the new period specified in the Landlord’s notice. Relevant Tenant improvements or failure of the Tenant to comply with the terms of the tenancy are to be disregarded. Historic issues relating to the tenancy or the personal circumstances of the Landlord are not taken into account. The personal circumstances of the Tenant are only considered if an application for hardship has been made. … The best evidence is independently verifiable agreed lettings. The tribunal has not been furnished with this. … The tribunal has a range of details of properties to let. … The subject property is ground floor. The subject property has an uncontested area of 478 square feet. The tribunal makes a finding of fact that the property is 478 sq feet. … The tribunal is of the view that ground floor apartments are worth less than upper floor apartments, because of issues of security and privacy. … The tribunal therefore finds details of similar ground floor apartments the best comparison. … These are taken from the tenant's comparables. …
