From the tribunal's valuation
Despite having its own entrance, we do not consider that the Property is a house as it is a conversion of an extension to the rear of 15 Wesley Road, a house which itself has been converted to form 2 flats. We note that the tenancy agreement dated 30 May 2019 refers to a dwelling known as ‘Flat 3, 15 Wesley Road…’. … We have therefore valued it as a flat with its own entrance and garden. We noted that all rooms within the Property are small. The Property has double glazing and central heating and is in good repair. … We could not take into account the landlord’s financial pressures as that is not relevant to a valuation under section 14 of the Housing Act 1988. … We attached little weight to the tenant’s reference to the bRother’s mortgaged 3 bedroomed house as we do not have evidence of the location, age, type of property or state of repair. Further, a mortgage is different to rent as is based on the value of the house, the amount of deposit paid and the interest rate of the mortgage. … We attached little weight to 6 and 8 Paisley Place as they were back- to -back houses rather than 2 bedroomed flats. … We did not consider Winker Green Lodge to be comparable as it had a parking space, gated entrance, and was a top floor part- furnished apartment in a converted former industrial building. We had no details other than rent of the property at Aviary Grove. …
