Evidence considered
- Tenant provided Rightmove listings showing similar flats available between £795 and £975 pcm
- Landlord provided comparables from five apartments in the same development let in 2025 at £1035-£1045 pcm
- Landlord provided comparables from four apartments in a nearby development let in 2026 at £1075-£1085 pcm
- Tribunal noted both sets of comparables had limited evidential weight due to lack of detail
Tenant submitted evidence: yes. Landlord submitted evidence: yes.
Tribunal's reasoning
The tribunal relied on its own knowledge of local rental values together with comparables from both parties, though it found the landlord's comparables lacked detail (e.g. whether lettings were new or renewals, or which storey). It concluded a market rent of £995 pcm reflected the property in good, modernised condition, with no evidence justifying any further adjustment.
