In short

The landlords proposed a rent of £1,600 a month for a two-bedroom flat in SL1, up from the existing £1,300 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,400 a month, starting on 8 May 2026, using its own knowledge of Slough rent levels. It excluded council tax, water and electricity from the rent, as these are payable separately.
