What the tribunal said

The tribunal determined the market rent at £675 pcm after considering the small size, cramped basement layout, historic flooding risk, and requirement for dehumidification, rejecting the higher landlord comparables which were larger or on upper floors.

The property

Basement flat in good decorative order and repair, but small and cramped with historic flooding issues and damp requiring a dehumidifier.
