In short

The landlord, Peabody Trust, proposed a rent of £1,711 per month, up from £1,564 per month, for a two-bedroom flat in HA9. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,950 per calendar month from 1 November 2024, relying on its own expert knowledge of rents in the Wembley Park area because neither party submitted comparable lettings. It reduced its figure of £2,100 per month, which assumed a flat in good marketable condition, by about £150 per month because the flat had no carpets or curtains.
