In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a two-bedroom flat in SO14 from £685 a month to £775 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £900 a month, effective from 3 December 2025, which is more than the landlord proposed. It valued the flat at £1,100 a month using the landlord's comparables and its own knowledge, then deducted £200 for having no central heating and disrepair in the kitchen.
