What the tribunal said

The tribunal determined an unadjusted market rent of £1,600 per month for the property in good condition. It applied a 16% total deduction (12% for damp and mould issues, and 4% for the tired kitchen and dated decoration), resulting in a market rent of £1,345 per month.

The property

The property suffered from damp and mould throughout, with inadequate ventilation and single panel radiators. The appearance was tired and dated, particularly the kitchen and internal decoration.
