From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal considers that the comparables provided by the Landlord and the Tenant are relevant to this matter. It is accepted that the most reliable evidence are those rooms for let within neighbouring properties and the current rent for the Property. … Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, the current rent and the comparables provided by the Landlord and the Tenant, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject Property modernised and in good order would be £400 pcm. This is the rent we would expect the Property to let for in the open market if it was in the same condition as the comparable properties. … From this level of rent, having viewed photographs of the communal living area, the supporting documentation by the parties and the admissions made by the Landlord, the Tribunal has made adjustments in relation to the following: a) The poor condition of the communal facilities and the prolonged broadband failure. The full valuation is shown below: Starting rent £400.00pcm Less a) Items given under a) above £40.00 Market Rent £360.00 pcm
