In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent on a studio flat in SE3 from £1,025.00 a month to £1,250.00 a month. The tribunal decided on the papers, after inspecting the flat, and set the rent at £1,183.00 a month. It valued the flat from its own knowledge of the local market at £1,400.00 a month in good condition, then deducted 15½% because the flat was in very poor condition and lacked modernisation.
