Flat 4, Highwood House, 148 Cavendish Street, London W1W 6YH
The new rent takes effect from 13 February 2025.
In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £3,000 per calendar month for a three-bedroom ground-floor flat in W1W, up from £820.30 per calendar month. The tribunal determined a rent of £2,450 per calendar month, effective from 13 February 2025, after valuing the flat at £3,500 per calendar month in good tenantable condition. It then deducted about 30% for the dated kitchen and bathroom, the lack of floor and window coverings and white goods, the tenant's decoration liability, minor repairs and lack of double-glazing, and it set the start date at the decision date because of hardship to the tenant.
Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
