BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 12 April 2025, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a new rent of £2,850 a month in place of the existing £2,500 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £2,690 a month, effective 12 April 2025, for a ground floor flat in W14. It based its valuation on a comparable at £690 a week, put the market rent for the property in very good condition at £2,990 a month, then reduced it by about 10% because the carpets were in poor condition and the internal decorations were tired.
