In short
The landlord proposed a new rent of £1950 a month for a four-bedroom house in M33, up from £1750 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1800 a month, effective from 7 June 2026. It gave reduced weight to the comparables from both parties because they were advertised rents with limited detail, and took the floor area as in the order of 112 sqm rather than the 126 sqm the landlord had claimed.
