What the tribunal said

The Tribunal found that a comparable property in good order would achieve £1,250 per month, but adjusted this to £1,100 per month to account for the inconvenient layout affecting bedroom utility, lack of adequate kitchen/cooking facilities, and tenant-supplied white goods.

The property

Ground floor flat with a poor layout, including an inconveniently shaped bedroom and another room that serves as the only access to the bathroom and WC. Kitchen is small and cramped with no space for a cooker, requiring tenant-provided white goods and hob. Minor dampness observed in the WC wall and thermal insulation is poor.
