Matched in the decision textIn short
The landlord, Storm Angel Properties Limited, proposed raising the rent from £1,450 a month to £1,550 a month for a three-bedroom property in SS15. The tribunal decided a rent of £1,530 a month, effective from 1 July 2025, relying on its own knowledge of rental values in Basildon and reducing the figure by £20 a month because the tenant provides some white goods. The tribunal decided the case on the papers, without an inspection or hearing.
