Model-assisted readingIn short
The landlord proposed a rent of £1870 a month, up from the passing rent of £1670 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1850 a month for a three-bedroom house in CM17, starting 18 September 2026. It reached this figure from its own knowledge of Harlow market rents, valuing the house as fully fitted and in good order, and treated the disrepair raised as superficial or historic, making no deduction.
Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
