From the tribunal's valuation
In the written submissions and during the hearing, there was a dispute between the parties as to whether the Landlord had purchased the Property on the basis vacant possession was being provided, and as to whether the Tenant’s previous landlord had let the Property at a discounted rent. Neither issue was relevant to the Tribunal’s task of determining the current market value. … The Tribunal considered the Landlord’s comparable evidence but noted that the Landlord accepted that the properties in the vicinity being marketed at £900 pcm and above had very modern kitchens and were fully carpeted and were, therefore, in a better condition than the Property. The Tribunal also noted that the Landlord’s comparables evidenced the rents that the properties were marketed at and not the actual rents achieved. … The Tribunal noted that the Tenant stated that the next-door property was let at £650 pcm and was in much better condition than the Property. However, the Tenant had not provided any evidence to support those facts. … The Tribunal considered that the fact that the current Local Housing Allowance rate for a 2-bedroom property in the M postcode area is £875 pcm was not evidence as to the market value of the Property. …
