What the tribunal said
The tribunal assessed the unadjusted open market rent for the property in good condition at £950 per month based on local comparables. A deduction of £150 per month was made for structural issues causing damp ingress. As the resulting market rent of £800 per month exceeded the landlord's proposed rent of £750 per month, the tribunal determined the rent at the proposed amount of £750 per month.
The property
The property has structural issues causing damp and mould ingress in the kitchen, potential pest ingress, and is heated by electric heaters instead of central heating.
