DECISION

The sum of £700 per calendar month will be registered as the fair rent with effect from 7 May 2025, being the date the Tribunal made the Decision. ____________________________________ © CROWN COPYRIGHT 2023 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]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 consideration of the comparable evidence provided by the parties and our own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, we consider that the open market rent for the property in good tenantable condition would be in the region of £1,250 per calendar month. From this level of rent we have made adjustments in relation to the condition of the property and the lack of central heating.[5]The Tribunal has also made an adjustment for scarcity.[6]The full valuation is shown below: per calendar month Market Rent £1,250 Less Unmodernised property ) 10% Worn carpets & curtains ) 5% Worn white goods ) 5% No central heating ) 10% £375 £875 Less Scarcity approx. 20% £175 £700[7]The Tribunal determines a rent of £700 per calendar month. 3 Decision[8]The uncapped fair rent initially determined by the Tribunal, for the purposes of section 70, was £700 per calendar month. Due to this being a first registration, the provisions of the Rent Acts (Maximum Fair Rent) Order 1999 do not apply. In this case the rent of £700 per calendar month is to be registered as the fair rent for this property.
