What the tribunal said

The Tribunal considered market comparables and estimated the open market rent in good condition would be £6,600 per month. Deductions totaling £400 per month were made for damp and mould, unrepaired water damage, boiler failures, lack of double glazing, dated condition, overlooked outside space, and lack of parking, leaving a final determined rent of £6,200 per month.

The property

The property suffers from ongoing damp and mould at lower ground floor level, repeated communal boiler failures, unrepaired water damage, staining to hallway carpet, dated finishes throughout, lack of double glazing on a busy main road, limited overlooked yard, and no allocated parking.
