In short
The landlord proposed a new rent of £1250 per calendar month, up from £1,100 per calendar month, for a three-bedroom house in IP3. The tribunal determined a rent of £1000 per calendar month, effective from 27 March 2025. It relied on its own general knowledge of Ipswich rents and its review of rents sought and achieved in the town, and found nothing warranting a reduction from that figure.
Only the tenant gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
