What the tribunal said

The tribunal determined that the open market rent for the property fully fitted and in good order would be £1,775 per calendar month. However, a £25 per month deduction was applied to account for the ongoing likelihood of minor snagging issues needing tenant attention, arriving at a final rent of £1,750 per calendar month.

The property

The property is a modern detached house constructed around 2020. Minor unresolved snagging defects were noted, including defective shower heads and loose door ironmongery, which the tenant had previously repaired at their own expense.
