In short
The landlord, Long Bridge 2 Limited, asked for a rent of £1,450 a month for a one-bedroom flat in TW3, replacing the existing £1,100 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,150 a month, effective from 8 March 2025. It valued the flat at £1,400 a month in good marketable condition, based on the landlord's comparable evidence and its own experience of Hounslow, then deducted £250 a month for poor ventilation and lighting, the third-floor position with no lift, no proper central heating and dated sanitary fittings.
Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
