Flat 7 Dibdin House, Maida Vale, London, W9 1QE
Evidence considered
- No comparable evidence discussed; figure derived by statutory RPI-based capping formula under the Rent Acts (Maximum Fair Rent) Order 1999, not open-market comparables.
Tenant submitted evidence: no. Landlord submitted evidence: no.
Tribunal's reasoning
This is a Rent Act 1977 fair rent registration rather than an assured tenancy market rent determination. The uncapped fair rent assessed by the tribunal would have been £494 per week, but statutory capping under the Rent Acts (Maximum Fair Rent) Order 1999 limited the registrable rent to £316.50 per week, calculated by applying RPI change plus a 5% uplift to the previous registered rent of £273.50 per week. No separate amounts were allowed for services or fuel charges.
