BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 1 February 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,200 a month, up from £650 a month, for a two-bedroom house in TN34. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,050 a month from 1 February 2026, reducing its starting valuation of £1,200 a month by £150 because the property has no conventional private garden, only an open decked area at the front. The tribunal relied on its own expertise and general knowledge, together with the landlord's letting agent's valuation, which it gave limited weight because it had not been inspected.

Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
