In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £1,404 a month, up from the existing £1,300 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,380 a month for this studio flat in SW2, effective from 22 August 2026. It gave significant weight to a letting of a studio in the same building at £1,365 a month, and reconciled that figure with more recent higher lettings in the development, which were for larger flats.
