What the tribunal said
The Tribunal assessed the open market rent for the property in good tenantable condition at £1,450 per month based on local comparables. A deduction of £75 per month (approx. 5%) was applied to account for remaining general disrepair, determining the final market rent to be £1,375 per month.
The property
The property had a history of disrepair including mould growth, excess cold, rodent infestation, broken cooker, loose carpets, and electrical faults, with several items remediated prior to the valuation. The tribunal made a 5% deduction (£75/month) to reflect general disrepair at the effective date.
