From the tribunal's valuation
Having received no evidence on market rent levels from either party, the Tribunal relied on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the Darlington area. … The Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject Property in good condition and refreshed / presented to the market in best condition, to be in the region of £1100.00 pcm. … The property has been let for at least 10 years and, as to be expected after such a prolonged period of letting, would benefit from renewal / replacement of a number of fixtures and fittings, minor and cosmetic repairs and redecoration before being offered on the open market. These include recarpeting throughout, replacing kitchen white goods and making good leak damage to decoration in a couple of areas. The outdoor raised decking area appears to be nearing the end of its life and has had some boards replaced by the tenants. … We consider an adjustment of £150 pcm is appropriate to reflect the current condition of the property.
