In short
The landlord proposed increasing the rent of a four-bedroom detached house in NN3 from £1,550 a month to £1,625 a month from 11 December 2025. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,625 a month, effective from 11 December 2025. It relied on its own knowledge of the market because neither party provided comparable rental evidence, and it took account of the property's need for repair, refurbishment and redecoration; the landlord did not take part in the proceedings.
