In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a three-bedroom house in B44 from £800.00 per calendar month to £900.00 per calendar month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £900.00 per calendar month, effective from 10 December 2025. It relied on its own expert knowledge of rents in the area and found the tenant's minor repairs had no material effect on value.

The panel relied mainly on its own knowledge of local rents.
