What the tribunal said
The Tribunal determined that the open market rent is £650 per month, effective from 14 October 2024. The property suffers from significant drawbacks including a Suspended Prohibition Order, severe lack of natural light/ventilation, low ceilings, dampness, and vermin infestation, which restrict its open market value despite good quality fittings and spacious room sizes.
The property
Basement flat with low ceiling height, poor natural light, and poor ventilation. Subject to a Suspended Prohibition Order issued by local authority. Internal dampness to bathroom flooring and reported vermin infestation. Missing dedicated refuse bin. Fittings and white goods are of good quality.
