From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal first considered the drainage issue in the garden as identified in the supporting images. The soiled and muddy conditions is typical of ‘winter’ conditions particularly where wet grass is walked upon. It is considered that with appropriate maintenance, the lawn will recover during the spring and summer months. Accordingly, the garden drainage issue is not considered significant enough to impact upon the rental sum sought by the Landlord. … The Tribunal then turned to the letting evidence provided by the tenant. Whilst this is referred to as comparable properties in the application forms, no evidence was found. We refer to paragraph 13. Justification therefore relies upon commentary from the tenant as noted above. … The Tribunal then considered the supporting evidence provided by the Landlord. The evidence sits within the range of £1,375 – £1,435 pcm. When applying appropriate adjustments to reflect detachment and en-suite facilities, the Tribunal finds that the evidence comfortably supports the lower of this range being £1,375 pcm. … Accordingly, using its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £1,375 pcm which is the same as the rent sought under the Section 13(4)(a) notice. …
