The new rent takes effect from 8 September 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed a new rent of £1,995 a month for a furnished two-bedroom flat in SW9, up from the existing £1,850 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,950 a month, effective 8 September 2026, after valuing the property at £2,000 a month and deducting £50 for its condition and furniture as shown in the tenant's photographs. It gave less weight to the tenant's comparables, which were more than a mile from the property.
