In short
The landlords asked to raise the rent of a flat in NW1 from £1,470 a month to £2,000 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,520 a month, effective from 8 April 2025. It treated the second bedroom, a DIY loft conversion that did not meet fire, stair and headroom standards, as a store, so it valued the flat as a one-bedroom property, then deducted 20% for dated kitchen and bathroom fittings, the heating and the lack of white goods.
