Tribunal's reasoning
This is a Rent Act 1977 fair rent registration (not an assured tenancy market rent case). The fair rent would otherwise have been £1,338.50 pcm, but the Rent Acts (Maximum Fair Rent) Order 1999 capped the increase based on RPI movement plus a 5% uplift applied to the previous registered rent of £697.00, producing a capped figure of £1,138.00 pcm (including £58.54 for services), rounded to the nearest 50p. No open market comparables were discussed; the figure was derived purely by statutory formula.
