What the tribunal said
The tribunal assessed the market rent of the property in good order at £1,850 per month. Deductions totalling £500 per month were applied to reflect condition issues, lack of white goods/curtains, single bathroom provision, boiler capacity, and location noise. The effective date was delayed to the date of decision to prevent undue hardship to the tenant.
The property
The property has a dated kitchen and bathroom, with only one bathroom serving a five-bedroom house. Defects include broken fridge/freezer drawers, rotten yard gate and boundary fencing, unserviced fireplaces, an undersized combination boiler, lack of loft insulation, and intrusive traffic/quarry noise. Tenant provided curtains and washing machine.
