From the tribunal's valuation
The Tenant questioned the validity of the notice for two reasons. Firstly, for being too soon after the previous review and secondly, for not providing the requisite notice period. No evidence was provided to support the first reason. For the second reason, as the notice was served before 01 May 2026, the previous rules applied and only one month’s notice is required. However, as the notice was served prior to 01 May 2026, this Tribunal does not have jurisdiction to determine the validity of the notice. If the Tenant wishes to pursue that issue, they will need to apply to the County Court. … The only true comparable is the Clivedale Place property. However, the agreed rent is from nine months prior to the notice date. Further, it is for a flat within a purpose built development , rather than a conversion. … Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided by the Landlord, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject Property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £775.00 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. …
