What the tribunal said
The tribunal relied on its general market knowledge of rent levels in Bury St Edmunds to determine that the property would let on an open-market Assured Shorthold Tenancy for £1,350 per month. The tribunal found no significant factors in the representations to justify any deduction from this open-market valuation.
The property
Modern 2020s semi-detached house in good external condition with small garden and shed. Includes landlord-provided central heating, double glazing, floor finishes, curtains/blinds, and white goods. No defects warranting rent reduction noted.
