From the tribunal's valuation
The Tenants provided comparable evidence ranging from £795 to £995 pcm, whilst the Landlord's comparables for similar properties ranged from £750 to £1,000 pcm. The Tenants raised concerns regarding maintenance issues, but no evidence was provided enabling the Tribunal to quantify any impact on rental value and therefore no adjustment has been made. … Relying on its own expertise, 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 modernised and in good order would be in the order of £1,000 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 including having carpeting provided by the landlord.
