In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £485 a month, up from £440 a month, for a one-bedroom flat in WV16. The tribunal determined the market rent at £485 a month, effective from 1 June 2025, which is the start date in the landlord's notice. It described the property's central location as desirable but adjusted the landlord's comparables for the lack of a garden or parking, the kitchenette rather than a separate kitchen, and the lack of double glazing and central heating.
Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
