What the tribunal said
The Tribunal identified a starting open market rent of £1300 per month based on a comparable property nearby. Deductions totaling 25% (£390) were made for disrepair (dampness, blown double glazing), needed improvements (plasterwork, replacement kitchen, lack of shower), condition at effective date (prior to January 2025 repairs), and poor quality decoration/workmanship, resulting in a determined rent of £910 per month.
The property
Property suffers from dampness, mould, defective plasterwork, blown double glazing, defective radiators, leaking gutters, and a dated kitchen and bathroom. Prior to recent repairs, there was a hole in the bathroom floor over a ginnel.
