Flat 1, 81 Eccleston Square, London SW1V 1PP

The tenant applied for a determination of the market rent for a three-bedroom flat in SW1V, which is let at £4983.33 per month. The tribunal found there were enough similar lettings in the locality and that the rent was not significantly higher than the landlord could reasonably expect, so the current rent remains payable. It relied on its own knowledge and experience because neither party submitted comparables, and it put the rent the landlord could expect in the region of £5,000 per month, with the passing rent not higher.

The panel relied mainly on its own knowledge of local rents.
