What the tribunal said

The tribunal assessed the market rent for the property in good condition at £1,000 per month based on local market comparables and expert knowledge. A £50 per month deduction was applied to reflect unfinished bathroom works and flooring defects. The tribunal declined to postpone the effective date as the tenant provided no supporting financial evidence of undue hardship.

The property

The tenant reported ongoing disrepair including unfinished bathroom works, defective/damaged flooring, damp, mould, and historical issues with windows and storage heaters. The tribunal noted outstanding unfinished bathroom works and flooring defects requiring an adjustment to rental value.
