What the tribunal said
The tribunal determined that the unimproved market rent for the property in good condition would be £1450 per month based on comparable local rental evidence. Deductions totaling £150 per month were made to reflect the dated kitchen, tired bathroom, inefficient storage heating, lack of loft insulation, and poor carpet underlay.
The property
The kitchen and bathroom are dated, tired, and in need of updating, with flaking painted tiles in the bathroom. The storage heaters are old, inefficient, and expensive to run, compounded by inadequate loft insulation. Carpets lack adequate underlay.
