From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal considered initially the validity of the Landlord’s notice of increase. If the notice was not valid, then the Tribunal would lack jurisdiction to make a rental determination. … The Tenant challenges the validity of the Landlord’s notice on the basis that the notice is dated “11 February 2025” rather than 2026. In all other respects, the notice complies with requirements of section 13(2). … Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area and the comparable provided by the Tenant, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject Property in good order would be in the order of £1,150.00 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 comparable properties. … The Tribunal considers the property to be in overall good condition. As such, no adjustments are warranted and the market rent is determined as below. Market rent £1,150.00 pcm
