What the tribunal said

The landlord proposed increasing rent from £650 pcm to £800 pcm. The tenant provided comparable local rents of £500 and £550 pcm on the same street and highlighted access limitations. The tribunal, using its expert knowledge and considering current local market rents, determined that the open market rent is £650 pcm.

The property

Property is accessed via a pedestrian walkway with restricted vehicular access, and the rear is accessed via a narrow alleyway in poor condition. The garage does not form part of the demise.
