In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £2,665 a month, up from £2,383.33 a month, for a one-bedroom furnished flat in SW11. The tribunal determined a market rent of £2,550 a month, effective from 19 June 2026. It relied on the landlord's signed tenancy agreements for three nearby flats, which it said could not be applied directly without adjustment, and on its own knowledge, giving limited weight to the tenant's ONS statistics and to the asking rents in the Best Price Guide.
Both sides gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
