In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent from £600 a month to £700 a month for a two-bedroom ground floor flat in CV37. The tribunal determined a market rent of £700 a month, effective from 30 November 2025. It started from its own figure of £750 a month for the flat in modernised, good order, then deducted £50 a month for condensation in some double glazing and the age of the night storage heaters, while noting the flat's good location.
