In short
The landlord proposed a new rent of £200 a week, up from £164 a week, for a three-bedroom house in PO31. The tribunal determined a rent of £212 a week, effective from 16 April 2025, after valuing a typical three-bedroom house in the same street at £1,100 a calendar month and deducting £180 a calendar month for the property’s layout, the tenant’s carpets, curtains and white goods, and internal decorations. The tribunal relied on the landlord’s two comparable lettings and its own knowledge of local rents.
Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
