What the tribunal said
The tribunal assessed the open market rent of the property in good condition at £1,100 per month. Deductions totaling £455 per month were made to reflect general wants of repair (£125), poor bathroom access layout (£75), ineffective central heating (£50), tenant's white goods (£30), unmodernised bathroom (£75), and unmodernised kitchen (£100), resulting in a market rent of £645 per month.
The property
The property and building are in very poor condition with various items of disrepair including damp penetration, mould, window defects, ineffective storage heating, unmodernised kitchen and bathroom, and suboptimal layout where bathroom access is via the kitchen from the rear bedroom.
