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 tribunal in considering rental evidence prefers actual lettings and ideally in close proximity. … The tribunal has five comparables essentially between £3000 and £3100 pcm for similar sized properties in the building. These being ground floor and above. … The tenant provides a comparable; 2 beds within the building let at £2200 pcm. There were no details of floor, and the photographs were limited making the determination condition difficult. … Neither party contests the others factual basis of their evidence. … The subject property is as seen from the photographs in a refurbished condition but as noted the tribunal finds from these photographs that the property is in good condition but not pristine newly refurbished condition. …
