From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal considered the comparable evidence provided by the Landlord and placed most weight upon those comparables in the same building as or immediately neighbouring the subject Property. … Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area and the comparables provided by the Landlord, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject Property in good order would be in the order of £650.00 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 comparable properties. … The Tribunal considered the issues as to condition raised by the Tenant but noted that the significant issues were all historic and, therefore, not of relevance to the rental determination. The Tribunal regards the question of the entrance buzzer as minor and not liable to have an impact on rental value. As such, no adjustments are warranted and the market rent is determined as below. Market rent £650.00 pcm
