What the tribunal said
The tribunal assessed the market rent of the property in its existing state. While a refurbished property in the area would fetch approximately £925 per month, the subject property's poor condition and complete lack of carpets, curtains, white goods, and cooking facilities meant no rent increase was justified.
The property
The property is in basic, very poor condition requiring extensive renovation. Issues include unplastered painted brick kitchen walls, a damaged suspended kitchen ceiling, sloping kitchen floor with missing tiles, lack of cooking facilities, an outdated bathroom suite requiring refurbishment, old cracked plaster in bedrooms, and non-working ground floor lighting.
