BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 1 February 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,850 a month, up from £1,500 a month, for a two-bedroom flat in W5 from 1 February 2026. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,615 a month from that date. It preferred the landlord's comparables from the same development, adjusted from £2,000 to £1,900 a month for the ground-floor position, then reduced that by 15% for ongoing nearby building works and the slightly aged interior, and the tenant's request for a deferral on hardship grounds was not granted because no evidence of hardship was provided.
