The new rent takes effect from 27 September 2026.

In short

The landlord, The PRS REIT Holyoake General Partner Limited, proposed a rent of £1465.00 per calendar month for a three-bedroom house in M28, up from £1235.00 per calendar month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1295.00 per calendar month, taking effect from 27 September 2026. It relied on comparables from both parties and its own knowledge, giving limited weight to two of the landlord's comparables and treating advertised rents with caution because of incentives and time on the market, and it refused the tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds.
