What the tribunal said
The Tribunal assessed the open market rent for a property of this size in good condition at £800 per month. Deductions of £70 per month were applied for general disrepair and damp issues, plus £80 per month for an outdated kitchen and bathroom, worn carpets, and lack of landlord-provided white goods and window coverings, yielding a market rent of £650 per month.
The property
The property suffers from damp in the living room, single bedroom, and main bedroom chimney breast, water ingress from a crack above the bay window, an upper window that does not close properly, an outdated kitchen with broken tiling and minimal storage, an external hole in the side wall, disrepaired rear fence, damaged front gutter, and ungrounded land following tree removal.
