Rent figures not shown
Our two readings of this decision found different figures, or a figure that failed a sanity check, so they are withheld until checked by hand. The decision on GOV.UK has them.
In short
The landlord proposed a new rent of £1,000 a week for a one-bedroom, partly furnished lower ground floor flat in SW7. After an earlier decision of £750 a week was set aside, the tribunal determined the rent afresh on the papers at £1,000 a week, taking effect from 21 October 2026. It found the block commands a premium because of its prime location, communal garden and porter service, treated the landlord's schedule as the best evidence, and noted the tenant's comparables were advertised asking rents.
Both sides gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
