From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal first considered the condition issues raised by the applicant, namely electric faults and faulty ‘white goods’. These are not disputed by the Landlord’s agent in its response. Accordingly, these are relevant defects to which the Tribunal is prepared to consider in making its determination. … The Tribunal then turned to the letting evidence provided by the tenant. Whilst lacking in detail, the tenant does refer to rental values of comparable flats in the same apartment building. The tenant also makes reference to other flats which are not directly comparable but to ‘’give context of property types/rents in the complex.’’ 17. The Tribunal noted that no supporting evidence is provided by the Landlord. … Accordingly, using its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £675 pcm which is the same as the rent sought under the Section 13(4)(a) notice. 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 the comparable properties. … The full valuation is shown below: Starting Rent £ 675.00 Less Items given under a) above £ 25.00 £650.00 Market rent, say £650 pcm
