From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal considers the rental evidence provided by both parties is relevant to this matter. However, the evidence is exclusively advertised rents, not achieved rents, with no commentary provided as to why these comparables are more relevant. Therefore, the weight given to that evidence is reduced. … Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided by both parties, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject Property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £1450.00 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. … From this level of rent, the Tribunal considered no adjustment was necessary, as the Property is in good order. Market rent £1450.00 pcm
