What the tribunal said
The tribunal determined that the market rent for the property modernised and in good condition would be £2300 per month. A 15 percent deduction (£345) was applied to account for the defective ground-floor WC, mould issues, blocked drain, dated kitchen/bathroom, and dated decor, bringing the determined market rent to £1995 per month.
The property
The property features a dated but functional kitchen and bathroom, a leaking kitchen sink, a non-working ground-floor WC, mould in the kitchen, a crack in the principal bedroom ceiling, a blocked outside drain, and generally dated decor.
