In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £1,900 a month, up from £1,535 a month, for a two-bedroom flat in NW10. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,700 a month, effective from 8 February 2025, after valuing the open market rent in good condition at £2,000 a month and making deductions for the tenant's installed kitchen units, flooring and white goods, the poorly sealed external windows, and damp and internal condition. The landlord made no written submissions, and the tribunal relied on its own expert and general knowledge of local rents.
The panel relied mainly on its own knowledge of local rents.
