What the tribunal said
The tribunal assessed the market rent for the property in good order at £1,200.00 per month based on local comparables and expertise. An adjustment of £50.00 per month was made to reflect defects, specifically a longstanding water leak in the bathroom causing internal surface and ceiling damage, resulting in a determined market rent of £1,150.00 per month.
The property
Long-standing water leak affecting the bathroom area, ground floor ceiling, and internal walls. Functioning issues with the hob and washing machine.
