In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,200 a month, up from £725 a month, for a three-bedroom semi-detached house in M28. The tribunal determined the rent at £1,200 a month from 26 January 2026, using its own knowledge of local rents. It made no deduction for the tenants' alleged disrepair because there was no evidence of internal defects, and the landlord made no submissions.
