In short

The landlord asked for a rent increase from £1,400 a month to £1,750 a month for a two-bedroom flat over a parade of shops in WD6. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,750 a month, effective from 28 May 2025. It gave the greatest weight to the April 2024 letting of a near-identical flat at £1,750 a month, and noted the property's four-minute walk to the train station, nearby shops and off-street parking.
