What the tribunal said
The landlord proposed a rent of £1500 per month. Using its expert knowledge, the tribunal calculated that a property in modern condition would achieve £1900 per month. A 25% deduction was applied to account for the property's lower specification following successive tenancies, setting the market rent at £1425 per calendar month effective from 1 September 2024.
The property
The tribunal determined the property specification was below modern contemporary standards due to long succession history, applying a 25% deduction from an unimproved market rent of £1900 per month.
