What the tribunal said
The tribunal determined the open market rent at £2,950 per month, relying on valuation evidence provided by the landlord and general local knowledge, while making adjustments to reflect that the electrical system serves both the house and a separately occupied annexe. Unreported disrepair was disregarded. The rent takes effect from the date specified in the landlord's notice as no undue hardship was proven.
The property
The property is in good overall condition and well maintained, but has dated bathrooms, front garden fencing requiring replacement, and defective radiator valves which were not reported to the landlord. There is a single electrical system serving both the house and an annexe occupied separately.
