Tribunal's reasoning
Following an inspection, and relying on its own knowledge of rents in Nantwich, the tribunal valued the property in good condition at £1,150 pcm, then made deductions for tenant-provided furnishings, landlord neglect and works still needed (missing roof tiles, an unusable bath, doors needing re-hanging, carpets and curtain rails), giving £1,050 pcm.
