In short

The landlord of a four-bedroom house in CR4 proposed a rent of £2800 per calendar month, up from the passing rent of £2600 per calendar month. The tribunal determined £2800 per calendar month, starting 23 May 2026, relying on the landlord's comparable lettings and its own knowledge of Mitcham rents. It made no deduction for the condition of the property.

Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
