(6) If the Lands Tribunal is satisfied by such evidence, then the compensation shall- (a) in the first case, so far as it is based on rental, be based on the rental which would have been obtainable if the buildings or premises had not been occupied as a brothel, or as a gaming house, or for an illegal purpose; (b) in the second case, be the amount estimated as the value of the buildings or premises if the nuisance had been abated or if they had been put into reasonably good repair, after deducting the estimated expense of abating the nuisance or putting them into such repair, as the case may be; and (c) in the third case, be the value of the land and of the materials of the buildings thereon.
