In short
The landlord, Peabody Trust, proposed a new rent of £1006.26 per calendar month, up from £958.34 per calendar month, for a two-bedroom flat in SW8. The tribunal determined a market rent of £2300 per calendar month from 1 April 2026, using its own general knowledge of market rent levels in Lambeth for a property of this type and location, valued as fully fitted and in good order. The tenant's figure of £914.07 per calendar month had no detailed supporting evidence, and the landlord made no representations.
The panel relied mainly on its own knowledge of local rents.
