From the tribunal's valuation
Whilst the Landlord chose to let the Property to two people, the Property is a four bedroom property and the Tribunal has determined the rental value on that basis. … Whilst the Tenant’s comparables have a degree of use, they are all for two or three bedroom properties. Therefore, the weight given to them is reduced significantly. … Little detail has been given on each property and letting to students on this basis is known to attract a premium. The other two properties appear to be more substantial and/or better located than this Property. Therefore, the weight given to all of the Landlord’s comparables is significantly reduced. … Relying on its own expertise and general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided by the Landlord and the Tenant, the Tribunal considers that the market rent of the subject Property modernised and in good order would be in the order of £1300.00 pcm. This is the rent we would expect the property to let for in the open market at the valuation date and if it was in the same general condition as the comparable properties. … The Tribunal did not consider that any adjustments to the rental value were necessary. Open-Market Rent £1300.00 pcm
