What the tribunal said

The tribunal determined that while £1,450 per month would be reasonable for the property if in full market-standard repair and decoration, a discount to £1,350 per month was appropriate to account for its current fair condition and disrepair not attributable to tenant breach.

The property

The property is in a fair state of internal repair and decoration, with recent repairs suffering from poor workmanship. Deficiencies include old kitchen cabinets, worn carpets, chipped sanitaryware, damaged finishes, a leaking garage, poor water pressure, and a temperamental boiler.
