From the tribunal's valuation
Relying on his very general figures however, and on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the Property in good condition would be in the order of £525.00 pcm, the rent it would be expected to be to let for in the open market. … There are no grounds for assessing the market rent at the considerably lower figure of £432.24 pcm proposed by the Tenant, an historic figure which does not match current market rents.
