The new rent takes effect from 2 November 2026.

In short

The landlord, Wilds Investment Group Ltd, proposed a rent of £1,200 a month, up from £900 a month, for a three-bedroom house in M24. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,100 a month, effective from 2 November 2026, reducing its starting figure of £1,200 a month by £100 because repairs were outstanding at the valuation date. The tribunal refused the tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds because no specific evidence of financial hardship was provided.
