In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £1,090 a month for this one-bedroom ground-floor flat in M7. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,040 a month, effective 7 October 2026, excluding the £50 a month parking charge. It relied on rents achieved for ground-floor one-bedroom flats in the same development and on the flat's ground-floor position facing a car park, gave limited weight to the tenant's advertised comparables, and declined to delay the start date because hardship was not evidenced.
