Tribunal rent decisions near you
If a tenant challenges your Section 13 rent increase, the tribunal decides the rent. See what it decided for similar homes near you: filter by postcode, bedrooms and property type, all at once.
A full postcode or district looks there first, then widens to its area if there are few decisions.
Decisions
Type a postcode, a district such as SW18, or an area such as SW to see published decisions.
Past published decisions of the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber), shown for context only. They are not a prediction for your property and not legal advice: each case turns on its own facts and evidence. Bedrooms and property type are read from each decision's description; decisions where they couldn't be read are left out when you filter by them.
Using RentFig?
The same decisions open beside the rent field when you create a Form 4A notice, starting from the property's own postcode and bedrooms, and the in-app tracker shows up to 50 at a time. See the Document Creator.
Reading the results
- Each decision shows the rent before, the landlord's proposal and the rent the tribunal decided, with a symbol and words for how the decision compares with the proposal (for example “▼ 6.7% below the landlord's proposal”).
- A full postcode or a district (such as E17) looks there first, then widens to the postcode area (such as E) when there are few decisions. Decisions from the last three years are shown, newest first.
- Every decision links to the full written decision on GOV.UK, which explains the evidence the tribunal relied on.
Before you pick a figure, the Section 13 guide explains the tribunal route, and the rent increase calculator works out the dates.
Tribunal rent decisions: FAQ
When does the tribunal set the rent?
When a landlord serves a Section 13 notice (Form 4A) to increase the rent of an assured tenancy, the tenant can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) before the new rent starts. The tribunal then decides the market rent for the property. Its written decisions are published on GOV.UK.
Where does this data come from?
From the residential property tribunal decisions published on GOV.UK. We read new market rent decisions twice a day and keep the case reference, date, address, the rents (current, proposed and decided) and, where the decision describes it, the number of bedrooms and the type of property. No landlord or tenant names are kept.
Why are some decisions missing when I filter by bedrooms or type?
Bedrooms and property type are read from each decision's description of the property. Many decisions don't give a bedroom count, and some don't describe the property in a way we can read reliably. Those are left out when you filter by them rather than guessed. Choose Any size or Any type to see them.
Can I use these decisions to set my own rent?
They are useful context: they show how the tribunal has viewed proposed rents near you. They are not a prediction for your property and not legal advice. Each case turns on its own evidence, such as the condition of the property, what is included in the rent and the comparables put forward.
What does 'the tribunal set no rent' mean?
In some cases the tribunal makes no determination, for example because the application or the notice was not valid, or the case was withdrawn. Those are counted separately and left out of the comparison with the landlord's proposal.
