In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £3100.00 per calendar month, up from £2,750.00 per calendar month, for a furnished two-bedroom flat in NW1. The tribunal determined a rent of £2850.00 per calendar month from 1 October 2026, starting from a valuation of £3100.00 per calendar month based on the landlord's comparables and deducting £250.00 per calendar month for minor wear and tear. It gave little weight to the tenant's single comparable at £2200 pcm, which had no floor details and limited photographs.
