DECISION

The sum of £1,086.50 per calendar month will be registered as the fair rent with effect from 24 November 2025, being the date the Tribunal made the Decision. ____________________________________ © CROWN COPYRIGHT 2025 FIRST - TIER TRIBUNAL PROPERTY CHAMBER (RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY) 2 SUMMARY REASONS Background[1]Following an objection from the Tenant to the determination of a fair rent by the Rent Officer, the Tribunal has made a determination under the provisions of the Rent Act 1977. Inspection[2]The Tribunal did not inspect the property but considered this case on the basis of the papers provided by the parties. Evidence[3]The Tribunal has consideration of the written submissions provided by the Tenant and the Landlord. Determination and Valuation[4]Having had consideration of our own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, we consider that the open market rent for the property in its current condition would be in the region of £1,600 per calendar month. From this level of rent we have made adjustments in relation to: Absence of white goods carpets and curtains provided by the landlord The tenant’s decorating liability[5]The Tribunal has also made an adjustment for scarcity.[6]The full valuation is shown below: per calendar month Market Rent £1600 Less No landlord’s white goods, carpets and curtains ) approx. 10% Tenant’s decorating liability ) £160 £1440 Less Scarcity approx. 20% £288 £1152[7]The Tribunal determines a rent of £1,152 per calendar month. 3 Decision[8]The uncapped fair rent initially determined by the Tribunal, for the purposes of section 70, was £1,152 per calendar month. The capped rent for the property according to the provisions of the Rent Acts (Maximum Fair Rent) Order 1999 is calculated at £1,086.50 per calendar month. The calculation of the capped rent is shown on the decision form. In this case the lower rent of £1,086.50 per calendar month is to be registered as the fair rent or this property, inclusive of services at £56.72 per month.
