From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal notes that the Landlord has, in discussion with the Tenant and in its Reply form, reduced the amount it proposed as Market Rent for the room from £775 (as per the Section 13 notice) to £750. … The Tribunal disregarded the properties submitted by both Landlord and Tenant that were not in Sale, as not suitably comparable. … The Tenant’s inclusion of recent lettings within the property were useful in assisting the Tribunal as to the Market Rent, particularly as the factual details went unchallenged by the landlord, albeit they did make submission on their relevance. … The Tribunal disagrees with the Landlord’s submission as to relevance and finds that the lettings of rooms within the property in the near past are without doubt the best comparables that could be produced for a property such as this. … The Tenant states that the rents achieved of £725 pcm are for the larger rooms within the property. … 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 would be £700.00 pcm. Market rent £700.00 pcm
