What the tribunal said
The Tribunal set an initial open market rent starting point at £1,825 per calendar month based on letting evidence for comparable two-bedroom flats in the local area. It applied a 10% deduction to reflect damp and mould issues, tired kitchen fittings, and exterior defects, determining the market rent at £1,645 per calendar month.
The property
Ground floor converted flat with exclusive use of a large lawned garden and dedicated parking space. Overall in reasonably good condition, but suffers from damp and mould near the back door and in the bathroom, discoloured ceiling in the sitting room from past damp, tired kitchen worktops with a broken rim, and a broken concrete side pathway and alley door outside.
