From the tribunal's valuation
None of the Landlord’s comparables were considered relevant. The first and third were for two bedroom apartments and the second one in Burleigh Street appears to be a spacious top floor apartment in a much more desirable block. … The Tribunal considered that, whilst condensation was a factor in it developing, the main cause was most likely to be a result of the construction of the building and therefore, beyond the control of the Tenant. … Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject Property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £570.00 pcm. This is the rent we would expect the property to let for in the open market if it was in the same general condition as the comparable properties including having white goods and curtains provided by the landlord. … The full valuation is shown below: Starting Rent £570.00 pcm Less a) Items given under a) above £50.00 £60.00 Market rent £520.00 pcm
