What the tribunal said

The tribunal determined that the market rent for the property in good condition would be £950 per month based on local market evidence and comparable properties. Deductions totaling £100 per month were made to reflect unmodernised floor coverings, poor fixtures and fittings, electrical issues, dampness, condensation, and energy efficiency defects, resulting in a market rent of £850 per month.

The property

Poor condition of floor coverings, fixtures, and fittings; electrical safety concerns/circuit breakers tripping; dampness and mould; energy inefficiency from gap under front door causing draughts and insect ingress; lack of basic bathroom fittings.
