In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,600 a month, up from a passing rent of £888.68 a month, for a two-bedroom bungalow in BH12. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,275 a month from 1 September 2025. It put the open market rent in good condition at £1,500 a month, reflecting the busy road and shared driveway, then deducted 15% for disrepair, dated accommodation, partial single glazing and items supplied by the tenants.
