The new rent takes effect from 12 August 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £2,450 per calendar month, up from £2,250 per calendar month, for a one-bedroom flat in NW6. The tribunal determined a rent of £2,350 per calendar month from 12 August 2026, relying on its own expertise and general knowledge of local rents, as neither party had commented on specific comparable transactions. The tenant's request for a later start date on hardship grounds was refused because no supporting financial evidence was provided.
