From the tribunal's valuation

The Tribunal is required to determine the rent which the Property might reasonably be expected to achieve if let on the open market by a willing landlord under an assured periodic tenancy, having regard to the assumptions required by the relevant statutory provisions. The Tribunal has therefore considered both the condition and characteristics of the subject property and the evidence as to prevailing market rents. … The Tribunal has considered the comparable evidence produced by both parties. The Tribunal is unable to place significant weight upon the evidence relied upon by the Tenant. Whilst the Tenant has referred to a number of other properties advertised for rent within the wider locality, insufficient information has been provided to enable the Tribunal properly to assess their comparability with the subject property. In particular, the Tribunal has not been provided with details of floor area, internal layout, photographs, condition or tenancy terms. Nor are the properties situated on the same development as the subject property. The Tribunal is therefore unable to determine the extent to which those properties are genuinely comparable to the subject property. … The Tribunal places greater weight upon the Landlord's comparable evidence. … The Tribunal considers that property to be broadly comparable to the subject property. …
