From the tribunal's valuation
Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided by the parties, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject Property would be in the order of £1,020 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. … The Tribunal has considered the comparable evidence from both parties. … The second property at Chapel Street appeared to be a studio flat rather than a 1-bedroom flat. This was not therefore a helpful comparator. … The evidence from the Landlord showed several properties in the same block with advertised rents as above, from which the Tribunal assessed an average of £1,070 pcm. … There was insufficient evidence to say that this was the market rent for the subject Property because the Tribunal was not able to assess the condition of all of these properties in comparison to the condition of the subject Property. … On the basis of the comparables, however, the Tribunal was satisfied that £1,020 pcm is the market rent for the subject Property. No account of antisocial behaviour or crime in the area was taken account due to lack of evidence and the fact that comparables provided for the same area showed a slightly higher rent. Market rent £1,020 pcm
