Reading these decisions

  • Each decision values one home on the evidence in front of the tribunal. It is not a rent for the street.
  • A confirmed rent under the new rules means the market was at least that high; the tribunal could not go higher.
  • The tribunal can set a rent below what the tenant already pays, usually for condition or a weak evidence pack.

Questions agents and landlords ask

How many rent tribunal decisions are there in SW7 (Kensington and Chelsea)?

29 published decisions: 0 on notices under the Renters’ Rights Act rules, 2 under the earlier rules and 27 fair-rent decisions for regulated tenancies. The list is refreshed daily from GOV.UK.

Does the tribunal usually cut rent increases in SW7 (Kensington and Chelsea)?

There are no new-rules decisions here yet. Across England, 65% of new-rules decisions set the rent below the notice, with a median cut of −5.7%.

Can the tribunal set a higher rent than the landlord proposed?

Not for notices served from 1 May 2026. The tribunal sets the open-market rent or the notice figure, whichever is lower, and the new rent starts from the decision with no backdating. Under the earlier rules it could go higher, which is why the two are shown separately.

How should I price a rent increase in SW7 (Kensington and Chelsea)?

Start from rents actually achieved for similar homes nearby, recent and close, then adjust for condition, furnishing and what is included. Tribunal decisions show the risk of getting it wrong; they are not a price list. Keep the comparables and condition record before you serve the notice.
