What the tribunal said
The tribunal relied on its professional knowledge of local market rents for one-bedroom flats, which typically range from £450 to £675 per month. Reductions were applied to reflect the fifth-floor location with no working lift, lack of intercom/remote door release, broken postbox, and exceptionally small living area.
The property
The flat is small (estimated at approximately 35 sqm) and well-maintained by the tenant. Deficiencies include a non-functioning lift, no working door entry or intercom system, and a broken, insecure postbox in the entrance lobby.
