BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 28 October 2025, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord asked for a rent rise from £1,600 a month to £3,000 a month for a one-bedroom flat in W14. The tribunal determined the market rent at £1,890 a month, effective from 28 October 2025, after valuing the flat at £2,100 a month in modernised, good order and deducting 10% for dated, damaged laminate flooring and an older-style kitchen. It gave no weight to either party's comparables, which were based on asking rents without supporting evidence, and relied on its own expertise and knowledge of the local market.
