What the tribunal said

The tribunal determined the market rent for the property in good condition to be £1900 per month, based on comparable evidence in the local area and tribunal expertise. A £100 per month deduction was applied to reflect the presence of electric storage heating rather than gas or oil heating, resulting in a final market rent of £1800 per month.

The property

Property in fair to good condition. Minor damp and mould growth near windows, bathroom, and kitchen due to lack of air extraction. Communal lighting issues and external security defects in communal areas. Electric storage heating installed instead of gas or oil heating.
