In short

The landlord, One Vision Housing Limited, proposed a rent of £645.77 a month, inclusive of service charges, for a two-bedroom flat in CH41, replacing £616.20 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £805 a month, inclusive of fixed service charges, effective from 1 April 2026. It rejected the outlying comparables offered by both parties, relied on its own knowledge of local rents, and made no deduction for condition because the property was modern and in good order.
