2 Heritage Court Central Drive Shirebrook, Mansfield NG20 8BE
Condition: Ground floor converted flat with open living room, kitchen, mezzanine floor, a box bedroom, bathroom and a parking space; tenant responsible for decorating.
Evidence considered
- Tribunal's own general knowledge of achieved rents for one-bedroom flats in the locality, estimated range £550-£700 pcm
- No comparable evidence submitted by either party
Tenant submitted evidence: no. Landlord submitted evidence: no.
Tribunal's reasoning
Neither party submitted evidence, so the Tribunal relied on its own knowledge and research of rental values for one-bedroom flats in the Shirebrook area, finding achieved rents typically ranging £550-£700 pcm. It adopted £650 pcm as a starting point and then deducted 5% (£32.50) to reflect the tenant's responsibility for decorating, producing a determined rent of £617.50 pcm.
