The new rent takes effect from 15 August 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a four-bedroom semi-detached house in WA12 from £1085 per calendar month to £1415 per calendar month. The tribunal determined the new rent at £1415 per calendar month from 15 August 2026, the amount proposed, because its open-market valuation of £1450 per calendar month was higher, based on the landlord's two comparables and its own knowledge. The tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds was refused because the tribunal found the increase would not cause undue hardship.

Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
