Flat 3, Southdown House, Argyle Road, Bognor Regis, West Sussex, PO21 1FP
Condition: Second-floor flat with narrow stair access, an ensuite shower, and a bathroom with restricted access to the bath. The landlord said the property has no double glazing, though the tribunal's own inspection recorded double glazing. The tenant provided all white goods (bar the cooker) and curtains/carpets.
Evidence considered
No evidence details extracted.
Tenant submitted evidence: no. Landlord submitted evidence: no.
Tribunal's reasoning
Neither party submitted comparable rental evidence. Relying on its own inspection and market knowledge, the tribunal valued the modernised property at £780 pcm, then deducted £30 total for the tenant's own provision of white goods and curtains, giving £750 pcm. The source document's stated proposed weekly rent is inconsistent with its other figures (a jump far larger than the eventual increase) and looks like a transcription error, so it has not been recorded here.
