In short
The landlords asked for a rent of £1,499 a month, up from £1,450 a month, for a two-bedroom maisonette in CB4. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,450 a month, effective from 19 November 2025. It valued the property at £1,500 a month in a usual letting condition, then deducted £50 a month because the property could not be described as good throughout.
