What the tribunal said
The tribunal assessed the open market rental value based on comparable lettings and its knowledge of local market conditions, reflecting deductions for the inadequate heating system and limited insulation. The tribunal determined the market rent to be £1,750 per month.
The property
The property is a refurbished two-storey period detached farmhouse fitted to a high standard, but has limited insulation and a defective central heating system, requiring reliance on plug-in heaters and a wood burner. There is evidence of water ingress in the chimney breasts and rubble in the garden.
