In short
The landlord, Peabody, proposed a rent of £116.00 a week in place of the existing £107.50 a week for a one-bedroom flat in SE28. The tribunal, deciding on the papers without an inspection, determined a market rent of £231.25 a week inclusive of service charge from 19 August 2024. Neither party made written submissions, so the tribunal used its own general knowledge of local rents and made adjustments for tenant improvements, tenant furniture and floor coverings, dilapidation and obsolescence.
The panel relied mainly on its own knowledge of local rents.
