Open-market rent (AST)

235 Fencepiece Road, Chigwell, Essex, IG7 5EB

First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) rent determination · case CAM/22UH/MNR/2024/0125

The tribunal's decision

£2,600 / month

The landlord asked for £2,300/month; the tribunal set a higher open-market figure — an outcome the pre-2026 rules allowed but the Renters' Rights Act has since abolished.

Stated in the decision as "£2,600 per calendar month". Decided 23 Sept 2024.

What this decision means

In an open-market rent case, the tribunal determines what the property would reasonably let for on the open market — usually after a tenant refers a Section 13 rent increase notice. The panel (typically including a chartered surveyor) considers local comparable lettings and the property's condition, and may deduct for disrepair or tenant improvements.
