Floor 4 Room 4 Studio, 11 Welbeck Street, London, W1G 9XZ

The tenant applied to the tribunal to determine the market rent for a studio flat in W1G let from 29 February 2024 at £1,700 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £2,200 a month, effective from 9 August 2024, after adjusting its valuation of about £2,400 a month to reflect the property's condition compared with what is usual for such a letting. It gave limited weight to the landlord's comparables of studio flats in Marylebone and Paddington, and the tenant did not respond when the tribunal wrote about the higher rent it was considering.

Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
