Inspection[2]The Tribunal did not carry out an inspection. unal has carried out an inspection of the property on 13th February 2024. Evidence[3]The Tribunal has consideration of the written submissions provided by the Tenant and landlord. Determination and Valuation[4]Having consideration of the comparable evidence proved 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 £2100 per calendar month or £485 per week. From this level of rent we have made adjustments in relation to: Lack of repair – 10% Lack of floor coverings – 5% No white goods- 5% Unmodernised kitchen -5%[5]The Tribunal has also made an adjustment for scarcity -20%[6]The full valuation is shown below: Market rent£2100 per calender month. Disrepair-£210 Less contents- £210 per calender month Unmodernised kitchen -£105 Less scarcity- £420 per calender month Equals- £1154 pcm or £266.54per week The maximum fair rent is £228 pcm 3 Therefore the Tribunal determines a rent of £ 228 per calender month. Decision[8]The uncapped fair rent initially determined by the Tribunal, for the purposes of section 70, was £1470 per calendar month or £339 per week . The capped rent for the property according to the provisions of the Rent Acts (Maximum Fair Rent) Order 1999 is calculated at £. The calculation of the capped rent is shown on the decision form. In this case the lower rent of £228 per calender month is to be registered as the fair rent or this property.
