131 Corelli Road, London, SE3 8EN
The new rent takes effect from 27 August 2026.
In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £2,050 a month for a three-bedroom house in SE3, up from £1,725 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,900 a month, effective from 27 August 2026, because neither party provided comparable rental evidence, so it relied on its own knowledge of local rents and valued the property in good order at £2,000 a month before a reduction of about 5% for the tenant's responsibility for internal decoration and minor repairs. The tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds was refused because the tribunal did not have enough evidence of the household's financial position.
The panel relied mainly on its own knowledge of local rents.
