In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1638.00 per month, up from £1560.00 per month, for a three-bedroom terraced house in SW14 from 1 January 2024. The tribunal determined a rent of £1650.00 per month from that date. Neither party gave rental evidence, so it valued the property from its own expertise, allowing a 10% deduction for the tenant's internal repair and decoration responsibilities and a 30% deduction for the dated kitchen and bathroom, lack of central heating and minimal electrical sockets.
