In short
The landlord asked for £2,750 a month, up from £1,400 a month, for a barn-conversion house in SL4. The tribunal determined a market rent of £2,200 a month from 1 June 2024, relying on both parties' comparable evidence. It gave weight to the first-floor bedrooms set into the roof slope, the lack of a door to the main ensuite with limited ventilation, and the small garden shared with meter cupboards.
