What the tribunal said
The tribunal determined that if fully refurbished, the market rent would be around £950 per month. However, given its poor condition, lack of facilities, unoperational ground floor lighting, and absence of white goods, carpets, and curtains, no increase above the existing rent was justified. The rent was determined at £138.00 per week.
The property
The property was in very poor condition and required extensive renovation. Issues included unplastered kitchen walls, damaged ceiling panels, sloping mixed tile kitchen floor, missing cupboard doors/drawers, no provided cooking appliances, old bathroom suite, cracked plaster, no ground floor lighting operating at inspection, and no heating in two bedrooms. Unfurnished without carpets, curtains, or white goods.
