In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a two-bedroom flat in SW1P from £1,500 a month to £2,500 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £2,350 a month, effective from 4 June 2025, using its own expert knowledge and general knowledge of local rental values because neither party provided comparable evidence. The landlord did not return a reply form, and neither party attended the scheduled hearing.
