In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £1,150.00 per calendar month, up from £1,100.00 per calendar month, for a two-bedroom bungalow in S42. The tribunal determined £1,150.00 per calendar month, effective from 25 August 2026, which it said is the rent the property would let for in the open market if modernised and in good order. It gave the landlord's comparables limited weight as they were not direct comparables, noted the limited supply of bungalows, and relied on its own expertise and knowledge of local rents.
What decided it:Comparables rejected
Both sides gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
