In short
The landlord, The PRS REIT (LGIM) LLP, proposed a rent of £1,255 a month for a two-bedroom, fully furnished flat in M7, up from £1,140 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,215 a month, effective from 6 June 2026, relying on comparable lettings from both parties, particularly those in the same development. It gave little weight to the landlord's schedule of renewals and noted that the flat's ground-floor position makes it less attractive because of external noise.
