From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal first considered the condition issues raised by the tenant. These are not disputed by the Landlord. Defects were first notified in August 2023 and up until March 2026 are alleged not to have been fully resolved. The Tribunal finds that the time taken to effect repairs is unreasonable and a reflection upon poor or ineffective management. Accordingly, this is a relevant factor in determining the rent. … In terms of rental evidence by the tenant, there were none other than criticism of the Landlords evidence and reference to historic rent increase and proportionality. … The Tribunal then turned to the supporting evidence provided by the Landlord. These comprised of 3 properties in the same or comparable location and comprised of four and three bedroom properties with a range of rental values from £1,800 to £1,850 pcm. The first two comparables are larger four bedroom properties but provide useful guidance on rents being achieved in the locality. However, the third comparable, being a three bedroom property, is considered to be of most relevance. Even allowing for its superior location, the evidence comfortably supports the Landlords proposed rent of £1,620. …
