In short

The landlord, Silk Estates UK Limited, asked for the rent of a detached house in WF12 to rise from £1,350 a month to £1,550 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,495 a month, effective from 28 August 2024. It said the landlord's comparable rents supported a figure close to the proposal and that the property sits at the top of that market, starting from £1,600 a month and then deducting £105 a month for condition problems that remain.
