DECISION

The sum of £253.50 week will be registered as the fair rent with effect from 3 February 2026, 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]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 considered the written submissions provided by the Landlord. There were no written submissions from the Tenant. Determination and Valuation[4]Having considered 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 the condition and with the amenities the market would expect would be in the region of £540.00 per week. From this level of rent we have made adjustments in relation to:a. No carpets curtains or white goodsb. Unmodernised kitchen[5]The Tribunal has also made an adjustment for scarcity.[6]The full valuation is shown below: Fair rent PW Market rent 540.00 £ less condition & terms 40% 216.00 -£ adjusted rent 324.00 £ less scarcity off adj rent 20% 64.80 -£ Fair rent 259.20 £ Decision[7]The uncapped fair rent initially determined by the Tribunal, for the purposes of section 70, was £259.20 per week. The capped rent for the property according to the provisions of the Rent Acts (Maximum Fair 3 Rent) Order 1999 is calculated at £253.50 per week. The calculation of the capped rent is shown on the decision form. In this case the lower rent of £253.50 per week is to be registered as the fair rent for this property.
