Flat 7 Cloverley, 108 Brooklands Road, Sale, M33 3QE
The new rent takes effect from 24 June 2025.
In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a two-bedroom flat in M33 from £750 a month to £1,200 a month. The tribunal found a market rent of £1,100 a month if the flat were in good letting order, then deducted £100 for landlord neglect, £55 for tenant-supplied furnishings and white goods and £45 for tenant improvements, setting the rent at £900 a month. It made the new rent take effect from 24 June 2025, the date of the decision, rather than from the November 2024 date in the notice, because it would cause the tenant undue hardship given health evidence.
The panel relied mainly on its own knowledge of local rents.
