In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £995 a month for a three-bedroom house in WS10, up from the existing £600 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £600 a month from 21 October 2025, after valuing the property at £1,000 a month in good order and deducting £400 for the lack of central heating and hot water, a hole in a hall ceiling, a defective rear door and a leak to the attic room.
