From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal considered the comments regarding the discrepancy in the floor area of the apartment. On the basis of the information provided by both the Tenant and the Landlord, the Tribunal determines that the apartment is around 679 sq ft and that the higher figure was an error. Therefore, the comparables provided by both parties are relevant. … In terms of the Landlord’s first three comparables, based on the information provided, they appear to be rents achieved following rent reviews of sitting tenants. Therefore, the existing tenant factor needs to be stripped out of the rent achieved figure. Given that the Landlord is currently advertising two other identical apartments at rents lower than two of the first three comparables supports this assertion. Therefore, the Tribunal considers the advertised rents to be more appropriate than the achieved rent figures. … Relying on its own expertise and general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided by the Landlord/the Tenant, the Tribunal considers that the market rent of the subject Property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £1225.00 pcm. This is the rent we would expect the property to let for in the open market at the valuation date and if it was in the same general condition as the comparable properties. … The Property is considered in good condition. …
