In short

The landlord asked to raise the rent for a two-bedroom house in BN27 from £750 a month to £1,500 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,500 a month, effective from 16 September 2025, agreeing with the landlord's proposed figure. It valued the property as if in good condition after the landlord's refurbishment, relying on the landlord's comparable evidence while making assumptions about differences in location, floor area and house type.
