From the tribunal's valuation
The notice of increase of rent is a valid notice. … The Tribunal considers the possible comparables as provided by the Respondent. The Tribunal has not inspected any of them and has only a brief description to consider in relation to each. The Tribunal can see that the 10 properties that are suggested are all reasonably local and are all in some way similar to the property. Clearly, they cannot all be comparable because there is a huge spread of rental values represented in these properties from £750 to £1,200 per calendar month. Further, the rental value as requested may not be the same as the rental value actually achieved when the properties are actually let. … Doing the best that the Tribunal can, using the suggested possible comparables as a guide, the Tribunal determines that the open market rent for this three bedroomed property is £900 per calendar month. However, this property is not in the condition that a property would have to be in to secure that open market rent. Adjustments have to be made to allow for the faults that exist with the property. The Tribunal points out that in the list that is to follow only items of disrepair are mentioned that the Tribunal has decided will affect the rental value of the property. If an item is not mentioned that is because it does not affect the rental value. …
