From the tribunal's valuation
The Landlord through their Agent’s own admission, in the letter dated 05 May 2026, accepts that a proposed increase to £1225 is fair and reasonable, even though in their notice the proposed rent is £1255 pcm. … The Tribunal has been cautious in reviewing these, as it is clear that some of these properties are renewals and by the Agent’s own admission have resulted for from rent variation notice which has set the rent at the level denoted in the schedule. These are therefore not comparable open market lettings within the block but renewals and rent reviews. … Whilst the property is not let and therefore not a comparable in the strictest sense, this provides persuasive evidence of the rent that a two-bedroom apartment in the block is likely to achieve in an open market letting. … Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided by the Landlord and Tenant, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject Property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £1215.00 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 being completely furnished by the landlord. … Market rent £1215.00 pcm
