BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 1 November 2025, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £5,450 pcm, up from £4,300 pcm, for a five-bedroom house in W4. The tribunal determined a market rent of £4,625 pcm, effective from 1 November 2025, after valuing the house in good order at £4,800 pcm and deducting £175 for single glazing, worn sills and interior staining not caused by the tenants' lifestyle. It gave little weight to the landlord's comparables that were larger or better finished, and found no financial evidence of hardship to justify a later start date.
