In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £700 a calendar month for a one-bedroom flat in PL1. The tribunal determined a market rent of £625 a calendar month from 22 May 2026, after valuing the flat at £650 a calendar month in modernised condition and deducting £25 for electric heating. The tribunal relied on its own knowledge of local rents because the tenant gave no comparables and the landlord did not reply.
