In short
The landlord, Hyde Housing Association, asked for a rent of £201.73 a week, including a £7.67 a week service charge, for a three-bedroom house in SE14, up from a passing rent of £188.96 a week. The tribunal decided the rent should be £400 a week including the service charge, from 7 April 2025. It valued the house from its own knowledge of Lewisham rent levels at £500 a week for a fully fitted property in good order, then deducted £100 a week because the property lacked curtains, carpets, white goods and double glazing.
The panel relied mainly on its own knowledge of local rents.
