In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent on a two-bedroom house in PE8 from £595 a month to £675 a month. The tribunal decided the case on the papers and, using its own general knowledge of local rents, valued the house at £975 a month in good order. It deducted £300 a month for its dated kitchen and bathroom, lack of carpets, curtains and white goods, little double glazing and limited coal-fired heating, so determined £675 a month from 1 December 2024.
The panel relied mainly on its own knowledge of local rents.
