From the tribunal's valuation
In the absence of any evidence that the Property is subject to a planning obligation, section 106 agreement, grant funding condition, restrictive covenant or other legally enforceable restriction affecting occupation or marketability, the Tribunal is satisfied that the rent falls to be determined in accordance with the ordinary assumptions set out in sections 13 and 14 of the Housing Act 1988. The Tribunal's task is to determine the open-market rent of the Property and not whether the proposed increase is reasonable or affordable. … The Tribunal has considered that evidence but attaches little weight to it. The cited properties are subject to registered fair rents under the Rent Act 1977, which are assessed under a different statutory regime and by reference to different valuation principles from those applicable to the determination of an open market rent for an assured tenancy under sections 13 and 14 of the Housing Act 1988. Registered fair rents for protected and regulated tenancies are not determined on an open market basis and therefore do not provide reliable comparables for the purpose of assessing the market rent of the subject property. … The Tenant also relied upon online rental valuation tools, including estimates obtained from OpenRent and OnTheMarket. The Tribunal places limited weight on those estimates. …
