What the tribunal said

The tribunal assessed the unblemished open-market rent at £1,950 per month based on comparable properties in the block and area. It deducted a total of 35% for the dated bathroom, dated/awkward kitchen, poor single-glazed windows, poor internal redecoration condition, and unfurnished status, resulting in a determined rent of £1,267.50 per month. The tribunal exercised discretion to set the effective date to 1 July 2026 due to tenant health and financial hardship.

The property

The property has dated bathroom fittings, a dated and awkwardly configured kitchen with basic fittings, poor condition single-glazed windows, cracked plaster, and poor decorative order.
