In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a three-bedroom house in IG7 from £2,100 a month to £2,300 a month. The tribunal decided the rent should be £2,200 a month from 23 June 2024, starting from its own estimate of £2,600 a month for a fully fitted house and deducting £400 a month. It reduced the figure because the house is on a busy road and has dated kitchen and bathroom facilities and a poor-condition conservatory.
