In short

The landlord, Grainger Invest No 1 LLP, proposed raising the rent on a two-bedroom flat in W9 from £1,384.50 a month to £1,494.71 a month. After a written-representations process and an inspection, the tribunal determined a market rent of £1,656 a month from 1 November 2025. It valued the flat at £2,300 a month in good condition, then deducted 28% for lack of modernisation, the tenant's own fitting of the kitchen and bathroom and carpets, the tenant's decorating liability and condensation.
