From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal first considered the tenants reasons: (i) that no upgrades or improvements had been carried out to the property and it was not of a standard to justify an increase. However, whilst improvements or upgrades have been made, no specific condition issues were identified by the tenant which may impact upon rental value. (ii) Reference was also made to similar properties of the same type and size within the locality are being advertised and let at lower rates. However, no evidence was submitted by way of justification. … The Tribunal then turned to the supporting evidence provided by the Landlord. … Firstly, the Landlord listed one, 2 bedroom property and two, 3 bedroom properties let at £1,275 and £1,450, respectively. Reference is also made to another 2 bedroom property recently let at £1,300 with the new tenant scheduled to take occupation in May 2026. In respect of all four properties, the information is limited in that none of these properties were identified other than being on the same estate. However, they do provide useful guidance. … The first property is a period 3 bedroom ‘town house’. The second property is a detached three bedroom, two bathroom house. The third property is a larger 3 bedroom house with integral garage. None of these are considered directly comparable to the subject property and therefore of limited assistance to the Tribunal. …
