In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a one-bedroom flat in E20 from £2,250 a month to £2,500 a month. The tribunal determined the rent at £2,500 a month, effective from 1 October 2025, relying on the landlord's Rightmove comparables for one-bedroom flats and its own knowledge and expertise. It made no deduction for the tenant's complaints about the boiler, kitchen and bathroom, valuing the flat as modernised and in good order.

Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
