From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal considers the comparables provided by the Tenant are relevant to this matter. … Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided by the Landlord, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject Property in good letting order would be in the order of £2750 pcm. 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 (allowing for the fact that the comparables are modern properties whereas the Property is older) including having white goods and curtains provided by the landlord. … From this level of rent, the Tribunal has made adjustments in relation to the repair issues noted above. The full valuation is shown below: Starting Rent £2750 pcm Less Allowance for disrepair £100 pcm Market rent £2650 pcm
