The new rent takes effect from 17 August 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,000 a week, up from the passing rent of £873 a week, for a furnished one-bedroom flat in SW7. The tribunal determined a market rent of £750 a week, starting from 17 August 2026. It based this on an average of £625 a week for similar high-quality nearby accommodation, plus £125 a week for the services provided with the flat, and gave limited weight to both parties' comparables because they were not tabulated or analysed against the property.
